Many patients with small cell lung cancer think this is an illusion of lung cancer and it is not serious. In fact, this is a very wrong understanding. Small cell lung cancer is a relatively serious disease. Many patients are not easy to detect how the disease occurs in the early stage of small cell lung cancer. However, once it is discovered, many situations will generally occur, and the condition is relatively unclear. Let’s take a look at what symptoms are there for small cell lung cancer in ?
Symptom 1: Repeated infection of
There are repeated inflammations caused by tumor obstruction of the airway, also known as obstructive pneumonia. This type of pneumonia also has different lung cancers caused by inflammation. Patients often have low fever and low fever in the short term after the fever is reduced. Moreover, the treatment effect of anti-inflammatory is not good.
Symptom 2: Chest tightness, shortness of breath
Many patients of this type of patients will experience symptoms such as chest tightness, , shortness of breath in the early stage. Most people think that the sub-health state is easily overlooked. Many patients go to the hospital for examination and find that the lungs have lesions, and even severe patients have already developed pleural hydration.
Symptoms 3: general fatigue, weight loss
About 80% of all small cell lung cancer patients will experience general fatigue similar to sub-healthy states in the early stages of the disease development. Some patients even suddenly lose weight for no reason. This weight loss is not normal. Normal patients will lose 10-20 kilograms.
How long does the survival period of small cell lung cancer?
The medical community has never been able to reach a definite conclusion on the survival cycle of patients with small cell lung cancer. First of all, small cell lung cancer itself is also a systematic concept. There have been no completely similar cases, so horizontal analogy cannot be made. Secondly, the condition of patients with small cell lung cancer is the decisive factor in their survival cycle. The individual differences in patients determine that the survival cycle of small cell lung cancer is different. Improvement of patients' physical functions is an important factor in determining the survival of advanced small cell lung cancer. The patient's excellent physical functions and strong immune system are enough to resist the expansion or continuous metastasis of the tumor. Finally, the progress of small cell lung cancer treatment is also an important factor that determines the patient's survival cycle. The fundamental reason for treatment actually depends on the patient's autoimmune ability. Patients with strong immune ability can better tolerate the treatment of various chemical agents. Therefore, the key to the treatment of patients with small cell lung cancer is how to enhance the body's immunity.
Extension-Symptoms of lung cancer
1. cough : Typical symptoms of lung cancer will appear in the early stage because the onset site is mostly located on the large bronchus, which can easily cause irritation to the patient, resulting in the patient often having irritating cough. As the condition worsens, the degree of cough will increase, and sputum will appear.
2. Hoarseness: As the condition worsens, the cancerous tissue in the body will gradually increase, which will cause compression and damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerve, which will affect the patient's voice, leading to the occurrence of hoarseness symptoms, which is very different from the hoarseness caused by pharyngitis, smoking, drinking, etc., pay more attention in daily life.
3. Coughing blood: mostly occurs in patients with central lung cancer. The amount of bleeding in the early stage is not much, and it is mostly mixed with foam, with bright red color. As the condition gradually worsens, the amount of bleeding will become larger and larger, mainly due to the rupture of blood vessels on the surface of the tumor due to some reasons.
4. Fever: When the disease develops to a certain stage, the cancerous tissue in the body will ulcerate, and internal toxins will flow out, causing the surrounding tissues, causing fever symptoms to varying degrees.
5. Metastatic symptoms: During the development of the disease, cancer cells in the body will metastasis, causing damage to the liver, pancreas , bones, brain and other parts, resulting in metastatic symptoms such as liver enlargement, ascites, jaundice , fractures, headaches, and other systemic symptoms, accompanied by weight loss, fatigue, anemia , cachexia and other systemic symptoms.
