What are the symptoms of advanced lung cancer? 3 symptoms of advanced lung cancer

Compared with the early symptoms of lung cancer, there are more symptoms in the middle and late stages of lung cancer, and their manifestations also have certain characteristics. In order to effectively treat the disease, patients should pay relevant attention to the symptoms in the middle and late stages. When the same or similar symptoms appear, effective measures should be taken in time for treatment to avoid further development or spread of cancer cells.

Symptom 1:

When lung cancer develops to the middle and late stages, the bronchial stenosis caused by the enlarged tumor will cause the patient to experience aggravated cough, shortness of breath and shortness of breath, which will often be persistent and produce high-pitched metallic sounds. At this stage, the patient's hemoptysis symptoms are also more severe, and fever symptoms caused by degeneration and necrosis of cancerous tissue may also occur. Secondary infection at the distal end of the bronchial stenosis will also increase the patient's sputum volume.

Symptom 2:

There are also a variety of compression and metastasis symptoms in the middle and late stages of lung cancer. Tumors involving the pleura can cause dull or dull chest pain; tumor invasion and infiltration of adjacent tissues can cause sharp chest pain, as well as fixed and local tenderness. Symptoms can worsen when the patient coughs or changes position; tumor invasion of the left side of the mediastinum can also cause other middle and late stage lung cancer symptoms.

Symptom three:

Pain and edema of the face and neck are also symptoms of mid- to late-stage lung cancer. Lung cancer patients experience chest pain. If the tumor invades the right side of the mediastinum, the superior vena cava will be compressed, which will cause poor reflux of the jugular vein and cause it to become swollen, eventually leading to edema of the face and neck.

The above are the main symptoms of middle and late stage lung cancer, which are also important bases for patients to distinguish middle and late stage lung cancer. It is hoped that patients can be familiar with them to help timely detection and treatment of the disease.
