If the mediastinal lymph node secondary malignant tumor is induced because of regional lymph node metastasis, there is some chance of cure. If secondary malignant tumor of mediastinal lymph node is induced by distant lymph node metastasis, it is generally incurable.
Secondary malignant tumor of mediastinal lymph nodes means that it is not an in situ malignant tumor in the mediastinal lymph nodes, but metastasized from other parts of the body. If regional lymph node metastasis occurs due to lung cancer, esophageal cancer and other diseases, it belongs to the middle to late stage of the disease. At this time, there is a certain probability that the disease will be cured through surgical resection of the primary foci and lymph node dissection, chemotherapy and other treatments according to the doctor’s instructions.
If stomach cancer, colorectal cancer and other diseases, the cancer cells in the body have metastasized to distant lymph nodes and induced secondary malignant tumors in mediastinal lymph nodes, then the disease is in the advanced stage, and there is no possibility of cure at this time. Patients can prolong their life expectancy and improve clinical discomfort through chemotherapy, radiotherapy and targeted therapy.
Patients with mediastinal lymph node secondary malignant tumors are advised to go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible to avoid delaying their condition.
