What are the symptoms of lung cancer lymph node metastasis? Pay attention to these points

The clinical symptoms of lung cancer lymph node metastasis are different, which is related to the location of tumor compression. If it is metastatic to the mediastinal lymph node, there will be chest pain, chest tightness, cough, sputum and other symptoms. But if it is metastatic to the clavicular lymph node, there will be no obvious symptoms, only the presence of a mass will be found.

Talking about cancer can be scary, after all, it is a difficult disease to cure and can easily threaten the patient's life. For example, the incidence of lung cancer is very high in my country. Even if it is treated surgically, it is still easy to metastasize to other parts of the body. So what are the symptoms of lung cancer lymph node metastasis?
After lung cancer surgery, it is easy to metastasize to other parts of the body, including the lymph nodes. The clinical symptoms are different, depending on the site of compression by the tumor. If it is metastasized to the mediastinal lymph nodes close to the lungs, it will cause chest discomfort, chest tightness, chest pain and other symptoms. At the same time, the symptoms of coughing and expectoration will also worsen. If the enlarged mediastinum compresses the nerves, it will cause abnormalities and hoarseness, and it is easy to choke when drinking water or eating.
If the cancer cells spread to the lymph nodes in other parts of the body, such as clavicular lymph node metastasis or cervical lymph node metastasis, there will be no obvious symptoms. Just touch this part with your hand and you will feel a lump. This lump needs to undergo a pathological biopsy to determine whether it is benign or malignant. It can be seen that the situation of lung cancer lymph node metastasis is very complicated, and the clinical symptoms are also very different. Therefore, patients should not generalize and should go to the hospital for regular checkups.
But no matter which case, once lymph node metastasis occurs, it proves that the condition is more serious, and even with surgical treatment, the effect is not very ideal. However, patients should not be discouraged. Systemic radiotherapy and chemotherapy can effectively control the spread of cancer cells, and local radiotherapy can better control the disease. If the gene detection of lung cancer cells is found to be mutated during the follow-up examination, it is recommended that patients take targeted drug treatment to maximize life expectancy.
If the effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy is not good, the patient can also take Chinese medicine immunotherapy for treatment. As the name suggests, Chinese medicine immunotherapy is to improve the body's immunity through Chinese medicine, so that it can better fight cancer cells and achieve the purpose of curing the disease.
