When bronchial lung cancer metastasizes distantly, the common metastatic organs are: bone, liver, brain, and adrenal gland.
When bronchopulmonary cancer metastasizes to the skull, headache, nausea, vomiting, and abnormal mental status may occur. When bronchopulmonary cancer patients develop meningeal metastasis, it means that bronchopulmonary cancer is at an advanced stage. Such patients are treated with delaying tumor progression, symptomatic treatment, and humanistic care. The methods to delay tumor progression are to perform local radiotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, etc.
Metastases in the brain can also be resected if the patient can tolerate surgery. Symptomatic treatment is usually directed at the patient’s symptoms, such as pain relief and anti-vomiting. The patient’s confidence in the treatment should also be enhanced, so that the patient can face the cancer bravely and actively cooperate with the treatment.
