What are the symptoms of middle and late stage lung cancer? How to treat middle and late stage lung cancer?

Many lung cancer patients are already in the late stage when the disease is discovered. So how should patients in the late stage be treated? Lung cancer is a malignant tumor disease, which is extremely harmful to patients. Therefore, patients must seriously understand the knowledge of lung cancer, detect the disease in time, and carry out effective treatment in time. Lung cancer is relatively common in life, but untimely treatment will be life-threatening. The following are the symptoms of lung cancer in the middle and late stages and how to treat it?

Many lung cancer patients are already in the late stage when the disease is discovered. So how should patients in the late stage be treated? Lung cancer is a malignant tumor disease, which is extremely harmful to patients. Therefore, patients must seriously understand the knowledge of lung cancer, detect the disease in time, and carry out effective treatment in time. Lung cancer is relatively common in life, but untimely treatment will be life-threatening. The following are the symptoms of lung cancer in the middle and late stages and how to treat it?

In general, the symptoms of mid- and late-stage lung cancer vary depending on the patient's physical condition. Lung cancer is more serious in the late stage and requires timely symptomatic treatment. Common symptoms of mid- and late-stage lung cancer are:

Chest pain: The chest cavity is a very complex space. Three-quarters of the lung surface is surrounded by the chest wall, which is composed of a thin layer of lining (parietal pleura), fat, muscle, ribs and skin in different proportions. Tumor invasion of any of the above parts will cause pain. Therefore, most patients with lung cancer that have regionally spread to the chest have symptoms of chest pain.

Hoarseness: It is the most common symptom of patients with advanced lung cancer. The recurrent laryngeal nerve that controls the left side of the voice function goes down from the neck to the chest, bypasses the large blood vessels of the heart and goes back up to the larynx, thus controlling the left side of the voice organ. Therefore, if the tumor invades the left side of the mediastinum and compresses the recurrent laryngeal nerve, hoarseness will occur, but there will be no sore throat or other symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection.

Shortness of breath, pleural effusion: Almost all patients with advanced lung cancer that has spread regionally have shortness of breath to varying degrees. Normal tissue fluid produced by the lungs and myocardium is returned by the lymph nodes in the middle of the chest. If these lymph nodes are blocked by tumors, this tissue fluid will accumulate in the pericardium to form pericardial effusion or accumulate in the chest cavity to form pleural effusion. Both of the above situations can cause shortness of breath.

Facial and neck edema. On the right side of the mediastinum is the superior vena cava, which transports venous blood from the upper limbs and head and neck back to the heart. If the tumor invades the right side of the mediastinum and compresses the superior vena cava, it will initially cause the jugular vein to become swollen due to poor blood return, and eventually lead to facial and neck edema, which needs to be diagnosed and treated in a timely manner.

What are the symptoms of mid- and late-stage lung cancer? How to treat it? The above introduction to the symptoms of mid- and late-stage lung cancer is hoped to be helpful to you. Unreasonable treatment will affect the lives of lung cancer patients, especially the quality of life of patients with advanced lung cancer. The physical pain and psychological torture will weaken people's willpower and lose the confidence to defeat the disease. Relieving the symptoms of mid- and late-stage lung cancer as soon as possible can not only improve the patient's physical condition, but also enable the patient to build confidence in defeating the disease and actively cooperate with the treatment, thereby producing good treatment effects. A method for the treatment of mid- and late-stage lung cancer that has no side effects and a very easy treatment process is biological immunotherapy. Biological immunotherapy has become the fourth largest mode of treating tumors.

In the past, there were only three traditional treatment methods for advanced lung cancer: surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. However, surgery can only remove visible lesions, and is ineffective for residual cancer cells in the blood and lymph. Therefore, about one year after surgery is often a high incidence period for tumor recurrence and metastasis. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy have huge side effects. While killing tumors, they also kill normal immune cells more seriously, causing a sharp decline in immunity. Therefore, many patients cannot tolerate their huge side effects. Once the treatment is stopped, cancer cells are more likely to become abnormally active, forming a vicious cycle. Therefore, a common saying at present is that many cancer patients do not die from the disease itself, but are killed by "treatment".

What are the symptoms of mid- to late-stage lung cancer? How to treat it? Biological immunotherapy is also a treatment method currently known to have the potential to completely eliminate cancer cells. Biological immunotherapy is different from surgical therapy. It aims to restore and rebuild the patient's damaged immune system, improve the patient's immunity, and kill tumor cells through the body's own immune function. In the process of treating lung cancer, a small amount of the patient's own blood is taken, and the immune cells in the blood are induced and cultured in a high-standard laboratory to activate the killing activity of tumor cells, and then the cells are returned to the patient's body after the culture is completed.
