What are the symptoms of advanced lung cancer? If there are 3 symptoms of lung cancer, it means it is in the advanced stage

Many diseases often have no obvious symptoms in the early stages, and only in the late stages will obvious symptoms appear. However, if you treat it at this time, it is often very difficult to treat. The following is mainly to introduce to you what symptoms will appear in the late stage of lung cancer?

1. Shortness of breath: Shortness of breath is one of the typical symptoms of advanced lung cancer. Especially for those patients with regional spread of lung cancer, almost all of them have this symptom, but the degree varies. Many smoking patients usually have chronic lung diseases of varying degrees, which makes it extremely difficult to identify the symptoms of shortness of breath.

2. Edema of face and neck: Most lung cancer patients will experience edema of face or neck. This symptom is mainly caused by the compression of the superior vena cava on the right side of the mediastinum by tumor cells. Usually, the tumor cells of lung cancer will initially cause the patient's jugular vein to become swollen due to poor reflux, which will lead to edema of face and neck. Experts remind that once this symptom occurs, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.

3. Hoarseness: When the patient reaches the advanced stage, hoarseness is the main symptom of advanced lung cancer. Usually, when the tumor cells of lung cancer compress the recurrent laryngeal nerve, the patient will show this symptom. The main reason is that the recurrent laryngeal nerve controls the pronunciation function on the left side, and it goes down through the patient's neck to his chest, where it bypasses the large blood vessels of the heart and goes back up to the patient's larynx.

In short, if some of the above symptoms appear, you must pay great attention and be careful. This is likely to be the late stage of lung cancer. It is recommended that you seek medical attention for examination and treatment as soon as possible. If you need treatment, it is recommended that you go to a regular and qualified hospital for treatment. In addition, you must quit smoking during treatment.
