What to do with edema after radiotherapy for lung cancer brain metastasis? Need to be treated as soon as possible

Lung cancer patients with brain metastasis developed edema after chemotherapy and required intravenous diuretics, intracranial pressure-reducing drugs, and dehydration drugs, which must be treated early.

Lung cancer is a very harmful disease that can put patients' lives in danger at any time. So, what should we do if edema occurs after radiotherapy for brain metastasis of lung cancer? Let's find out.
Lung cancer patients with brain metastasis may experience adverse symptoms such as worsening cerebral edema within a short period of time after receiving radiotherapy, and may even induce serious consequences such as intracranial hypertension and brain herniation, posing a serious threat to the patient's life and health.
Generally speaking, such patients need timely treatment, and the main treatment method is often drug therapy, such as the use of diuretics through intravenous injection, as well as drugs that reduce intracranial pressure and dehydration, including mannitol, etc.
For lung cancer patients, if brain metastasis occurs, it is undoubtedly very dangerous and they must receive emergency treatment. Otherwise, once the patient's intracranial pressure continues to increase, it will induce serious consequences such as intracranial hemorrhage, and may even cause brain herniation, leading to respiratory and cardiac arrest and death.
In summary, brain metastasis caused by lung cancer is extremely harmful and must be treated early.
