Can lung cancer cause fever? It's possible

Lung cancer patients may have a fever. First, cancerous masses blocking the trachea can cause obstructive pneumonia and induce fever; second, infectious factors can also cause fever; finally, the tumor itself can also cause fever.

The occurrence of lung cancer is a serious damage to the patient's health and needs early treatment. So, can lung cancer cause fever? Let's find out.
It is a common condition for lung cancer patients to have a fever. However, early stage lung cancer usually does not cause fever, and fever is often induced by mid- to late-stage lung cancer.
Generally speaking, the causes of fever in patients are as follows:
1. Blockage factors <br/>It is possible that the cancer mass causes the trachea to be blocked, which in turn causes obstructive pneumonia in the lungs, and then induces the occurrence of adverse symptoms such as fever.
2. Infection factors : The tumor in the patient's body is too large, which leads to necrosis in the center of the tumor due to ischemia. Once the necrotic substance is absorbed, it will cause absorption heat, resulting in fever.
3. Tumor factors <br/>Some patients have repeated fevers, but after examination, there is no obvious inflammation in the body. This situation is often caused by lung cancer tumors, that is, tumor fever, or cancer fever. Anti-inflammatory treatment for such patients is often ineffective, and body temperature can only be restored by controlling the tumor.
