Correctly realize the dangers of small cell lung cancer

Whether it is small cell lung cancer patients or their family members, as soon as they hear small cell lung cancer during diagnosis, they will think that they have real cancer that is incurable and lose all confidence in life and the future.

Therefore, it is important to correctly realize the harm of small cell lung cancer.

1. Pain

The appearance of pain often indicates that the cancer has entered the middle or late stages. At first, it is usually dull pain or dull pain, which is more obvious at night. Later, it gradually worsens and becomes unbearable, and it continues day and night. Severe pain is a symptom of the late stage of small cell lung cancer. If it occurs, it is generally controlled by drugs. Pain is generally caused by cancer cells invading the nerves. Many people feel extremely painful in the late stages.

2. Bleeding

It is caused by cancer tissue invading blood vessels or rupture of small blood vessels in cancer tissue. For example, lung cancer patients may cough up blood and have blood in sputum. Patients with stomach, colon, and esophageal cancer may have blood in their stool.

3. Lump

It is mainly manifested by the malignant proliferation of cancer cells, which can be felt by hand on the surface or deep inside the body. Cancer of the thyroid, parotid or breast can be felt in the shallow part of the subcutaneous area. Tumor metastasis to lymph nodes can cause lymph node enlargement. Some superficial lymph nodes, such as cervical lymph nodes and axillary lymph nodes, are easy to feel.
