lung cancer patients is the metastasis after treatment. No matter where the metastasis is, the heart will be cold when they hear this word. Once there are metastases, the condition will worsen, the survival time will be shorter, and life will be more painful.
only knows that lung cancer will metastasize, but do not know where lung cancer will metastasize? Don't know what symptoms will be? This needs to be distinguished and symptomatic treatment can control metastasis:
1, liver metastasis. This is the situation where the primary lung cancer sheds, flows to the liver with the blood circulation, and takes root in the liver. Generally, there will be persistent liver pain, loss of appetite, and indigestion.
2, bone metastases. Z8z Lung cancer bone metastasis is very common. Generally, there are no symptoms in the initial stage of metastasis, but bone isotope scan can find the bone that has been diseased. The symptoms of bone metastasis are related to the location of the metastasis.
3, brain transfer . Z8z lung cancer metastasizes to the brain, which can cause intracranial hypertension and brain nerve damage. At this time, it can cause headaches, vomiting, visual disturbances, and even changes in temper. small cell lung cancer , lung adenocarcinoma has more brain metastases.
4. Heart metastasis. The cancer cells fall off into the blood and flow back to the heart, which may lead to heart metastasis and cause chest tightness, palpitations, shortness of breath, syncope, and heart rhythm disturbances. In addition to the above 4 places, lung cancer may also have other metastases, such as subcutaneous tissues, muscles, intra-abdominal organs, etc., lung metastasis may occur, which is systemic.
Know the location of lung cancer metastasis, let's talk about the mainstream treatment of lung cancer metastasis:
1, systemic chemotherapy.
is currently one of the most important methods. Through intravenous infusion of , , or oral administration, the chemotherapy drugs are delivered to the patient's body, and then reach all parts of the body through the blood circulation to kill cancer cells systemically. In this way, the metastasis of cancer cells is controlled. When
chemotherapy kills cancer cells, it can also damage normal cells and produce side effects. Many people think that chemotherapy is not good, and many people live shorter lives after chemotherapy. The doctor's suggestion needs to be treated rationally. Chemotherapy has merits and drawbacks. Generally, patients with poor results of chemotherapy usually have poor health, and then use chemotherapy drugs and the wrong dose.
Therefore, we must pay attention to improving the physical fitness of patients. This is actually the focus of chemotherapy. It is recommended that people with poor immunity can strengthen supplements of protein, vitamins and other nutrients, and at the same time use some immunomodulators reasonably, which can enhance human immunity and produce corresponding anti-cancer effects.
2, targeted drugs treatment. This has many applications for lung adenocarcinoma. In addition, there are immunotherapy , mainly nivolumab, pembrolizumab, atezizumab, etc., which are often mentioned K, O, T drugs. However, this is new and there are still many areas for argumentation.
