What are the symptoms of lung cancer lymph node metastasis? There are four major symptoms

After lung cancer lymph node metastasis, symptoms such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, hoarseness, cough and even hemoptysis, as well as lymph nodes and lumps in the neck, swelling and numbness of the neck and face will often appear. A small number of patients will also experience different symptoms such as swelling of the armpits and limbs, back pain and fever. Patients are advised to actively seek treatment.

As lung cancer worsens, cancer cells will metastasize to different parts of the body. The amazing metastatic ability of cancer cells will quickly spread to different parts in a short period of time, causing patients to experience varying degrees of pain or even endanger their lives. Here are some symptoms of lung cancer lymph node metastasis:
1. Chest tightness and shortness of breath <br/>When lung cancer metastasizes to the lymph nodes, the patient will experience chest tightness and shortness of breath due to the enlarged lymph nodes at the hilum of the lung compressing the airway, and in severe cases it may even lead to difficulty breathing.
2. Hoarseness and cough <br/>If lung cancer cells metastasize to the mediastinal lymph nodes, the patient will experience symptoms such as hoarseness and cough due to compression of the trachea or recurrent laryngeal nerve by the lymph nodes. Some patients may also develop complications such as pneumonia or hemoptysis.
3. Lymph nodes and lumps appear in the neck <br/>When lung cancer cells metastasize to the cervical lymph nodes, patients will often develop hard, slightly painful or painless lymph nodes and lumps around the clavicle and neck, which are easily ignored by patients.
4. Swelling and numbness of the neck and face <br/>As the number of cancer cells metastasizes and the size of the tumor increases, they will continue to compress the mediastinum and surrounding blood vessels, causing swelling and even paralysis of the neck and face.
In addition, since lymph nodes are distributed throughout the body, cancer cells can spread along their distribution paths, so some patients may experience different symptoms such as swelling, pain or back pain in the armpits and limbs, and fever. Lung cancer lymph node metastasis often indicates that the disease is getting worse. It is recommended that patients go to the hospital in time for a detailed diagnosis and actively receive treatment through medical plans such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy. They can also be treated with traditional Chinese medicine that can dissipate blood stasis and disperse nodules.
Through the above introduction to the symptoms of lung cancer lymph node metastasis, I believe everyone has a certain understanding and knowledge of the disease. I hope that patients with lung cancer lymph node metastasis will not be overly stressed, and actively cooperate with doctors to take appropriate treatment plans to effectively suppress the disease.
