What are the symptoms of advanced brain metastasis of lung cancer? 5 symptoms indicate that brain metastasis of lung cancer has reached an advanced stage

The brain is one of the common metastatic sites of lung cancer. Once brain metastasis occurs, it will cause great pain to the patient. Understanding the symptoms of advanced brain metastasis of lung cancer will help patients get better treatment. Therefore, this article introduces the symptoms of advanced brain metastasis of lung cancer, hoping to help all patients.

The main symptoms of advanced brain metastasis of lung cancer are as follows:

(1) Headache: Patients often experience severe headaches and often wake up in pain during sleep.

(2) Vomiting: Because lung cancer patients have increased intracranial pressure, the respiratory center in the medulla oblongata is often stimulated, causing the patient to vomit. This is also a common symptom of late-stage brain metastasis of lung cancer.

(3) Visual impairment: When a patient has brain metastasis, the intracranial pressure often increases, which leads to poor venous return of the patient's eyeballs, congestion and edema, resulting in decreased vision.

(4) Mental abnormalities: Patients with advanced lung cancer often show abnormal mental behaviors such as excitement, agitation, depression, and repression. This is mainly caused by brain tumors destroying the mental activities of the frontal lobe.

(5) Unilateral limb paresthesia or weakness: If the lesion reaches the parietal lobe in the middle of the cerebral hemisphere, it will cause unilateral limb paresthesia or weakness, which is also a common symptom of late-stage brain metastasis of lung cancer.

There are five main symptoms of advanced brain metastasis of lung cancer. You should know these advanced symptoms. The above introduction will hopefully help lung cancer patients get better treatment. Lung cancer is very harmful. If you have lung cancer, you must get timely treatment.
