What are the symptoms of lung cancer tumor cell spread? 3 common symptoms of lung cancer tumor cell spread

Lung cancer can seriously harm the patient's lung health, and then spread to other healthy parts to cause greater damage. If the disease is not controlled in time, it is likely to cause the patient to lose his or her extremely precious life. Understanding the symptoms of lung cancer tumor cell spread is very meaningful for timely detection of the disease and receiving standardized diagnosis and treatment.

1. Lung cancer tends to spread and metastasize to distant sites in the early stages of the disease, and the most common site is the brain. Once the disease metastasizes to this site, the patient will experience symptoms such as blurred vision and persistent headaches, which then worsen into confusion. This persistent headache symptom is not significantly different from an ordinary headache, so it is easy for the patient to ignore it.

2. Symptoms of lung cancer tumor cell spread also include bone metastasis. Once bone metastasis occurs, the patient will experience bone destruction. The main symptoms of this bone destruction include rib discomfort, unstable bone structure, bone pain, and when important long bones such as the femur or humerus are involved, fractures are also very likely to occur.

3. Once lung cancer cells metastasize to the spine, patients will experience back pain, lower limb weakness, incontinence, etc. As the disease worsens, patients may also experience partial paralysis. Heavy smokers may also experience back pain, etc. This requires high vigilance and timely diagnosis of whether it is lung cancer.

The symptoms of lung cancer tumor cell spread are also reflected in lymph node metastasis, which includes painless and hard swelling of superficial lymph nodes, and further induces hoarseness, breathing and swallowing difficulties in patients.
