What are the symptoms of liver cancer metastasis to the lungs? These symptoms indicate liver cancer metastasis to the lungs

Many patients do not have obvious symptoms when they first develop liver cancer. It is only when the cancer reaches the late stage and symptoms of lung metastasis appear that they go to the hospital for examination and find out that they have liver cancer. However, no matter what, patients should have confidence in treatment and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment.

Although the incidence of liver cancer is relatively high, many patients are unable to detect and receive treatment at the first sign of the disease because it is relatively hidden at the beginning, thus missing the best time for treatment. Lung metastasis is a manifestation of advanced liver cancer. When it occurs, the patient will experience many uncomfortable symptoms.

Experts point out that when liver cancer patients have lung metastasis, they go to the hospital for chest X-ray examination, and they will find many multiple, round, high-density nodules on the X-ray film, and this will happen in both lungs of the patient. Experts point out that when liver cancer first starts, because the cancer nodules are relatively small in size and few in number, they mainly invade the alveoli around the lungs, so under normal circumstances, patients will not have particularly obvious symptoms such as coughing and hemoptysis. However, as the disease progresses, liver cancer will metastasize to the lungs. When it develops to this extent, the size of the nodules has increased a lot, and the number is also very large, so many patients with liver cancer lung metastasis will have symptoms such as coughing and shortness of breath, and sometimes accompanied by fever, weight loss, fatigue, etc. When the metastatic cancer nodules invade the pleura of patients, it is also likely to cause pleural effusion.

Therefore, when a liver cancer patient keeps coughing and blood is found in the sputum, it is important to pay attention, because this may mean that the liver cancer has metastasized to the lungs.

The above are the symptoms of liver cancer metastasis to the lungs. After reading the full text, everyone should have a correct understanding of this disease, detect it in time, and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment. The harm caused by liver cancer metastasis to the lungs is very great, so in order to minimize the harm, patients must choose a safe and effective treatment plan.
