Symptoms of lung metastasis from endometrial cancer

Biological treatment is an ideal choice after endometrial cancer metastasis. Biological treatment can effectively inhibit and kill residual tumor cells, change the soil for the growth of cancer cells, and thus change the internal cancer environment of the human body, making the human body unsuitable for cancer cells to survive, preventing and treating cancer cell recurrence and metastasis, and greatly enhancing the body's immune anti-cancer ability. After improving the patient's immune ability, most of the newly formed cancer cells in the patient's body are killed by the patient's own immune cells, controlling the development of the tumor. So, what are the symptoms of lung metastasis?

In the early stage, patients may have no obvious symptoms and are only discovered accidentally during examination. Once symptoms appear, they are usually manifested as:

(1) Irregular bleeding Vaginal bleeding is the main symptom of endometrial cancer, usually with a small to moderate amount of bleeding. In postmenopausal women, it often presents as continuous or intermittent vaginal bleeding. Some patients only present with a small amount of bloody vaginal discharge after menopause. In late-stage patients, bleeding may be mixed with rotten meat-like tissue.

(2) Vaginal discharge. Some patients have varying degrees of vaginal discharge. In the early stages, it may appear as thin white discharge or a small amount of bloody leucorrhea. If there is infection or necrosis of the cancerous foci, there may be purulent discharge with a foul odor. Sometimes, the vaginal discharge may be accompanied by tissue-like substances.

(3) Pain. Cancer and the bleeding or infection it causes can stimulate uterine contractions, causing paroxysmal lower abdominal pain. Postmenopausal women may experience severe lower abdominal pain accompanied by fever due to poor drainage of uterine secretions caused by cervical stenosis. Secondary infection may lead to uterine pyometra.

(4) Abdominal mass. In early stage endometrial cancer, abdominal mass cannot be felt.

(5) In the late stage of other tumors, infiltration and compression of the iliac blood vessels can cause edema and pain in the ipsilateral lower limb; infiltration and compression of the ureter by the lesions can cause hydronephrosis of the ipsilateral renal pelvis and ureter, and even lead to renal atrophy; persistent bleeding can lead to secondary anemia; long-term tumor consumption can lead to systemic failure manifestations such as weight loss, fever, and cachexia.
