What are the symptoms of advanced lung cancer patients? Three common symptoms of advanced lung cancer

Lung cancer is a very common cancer. Due to the disease in people's living environment or lifestyle, more and more people are suffering from lung cancer. Many people find that they have lung cancer and it is already in the late stage of lung cancer, with some very serious symptoms. So, what are the symptoms of lung cancer patients in the late stage?

There are three common symptoms of advanced lung cancer, as follows:

1. Shortness of breath: Shortness of breath is a common symptom in the late stage of lung cancer. Almost all patients with regionally spread lung cancer have shortness of breath, with varying degrees. Many smokers usually have varying degrees of chronic lung disease, which makes it difficult to identify shortness of breath. In addition, some lung tissues lose their respiratory function due to tumor invasion, which can also cause respiratory discomfort, so you should pay attention to the identification.

2. Edema of face and neck: It is mainly caused by the compression of the superior vena cava by tumor cells on the right side of the mediastinum. Lung cancer tumor cells will initially cause the jugular vein to swell due to poor blood flow, leading to edema of face and neck. When these symptoms occur, they should be diagnosed and treated in time.

3. Hoarseness: Hoarseness is also a common symptom of advanced lung cancer. The recurrent laryngeal nerve, which controls the left side of the vocal function, descends from the neck to the chest, bypasses the large blood vessels of the heart and returns upward to the larynx, thereby controlling the left side of the vocal organ. When lung cancer tumor cells compress the recurrent laryngeal nerve, hoarseness symptoms will appear.

The symptoms of lung cancer patients are different at different stages, and the harm caused to patients is also different. The above has introduced the symptoms of late-stage lung cancer patients. When these symptoms appear, it means that the patient's condition has entered the late stage, so patients must pay enough attention.
