Late stage gastric cancer may have lung metastasis, and the main symptoms of its metastasis include coughing, hiccups, coughing up blood, and difficulty breathing.
Advanced gastric cancer can lead to metastasis in multiple sites and organs, such as metastasis in the liver can cause jaundice, pain in the right upper abdomen, fever, and other symptoms. In pancreatic metastasis, radiating pain in the back can occur, etc.
The lung is a common site of metastasis for most cancers, with blood metastasis being the most common. Blood metastasis is the arrival of tumor cells in the lungs through the bloodstream, which, because of the anatomical and physiological condition of the lungs, leads to a tendency for cancer cells to lodge and thus metastasize to the lungs. If the lesion occurs in the interstitial lung and forms an isolated nodule, there are no clinical symptoms; when metastatic cancer invades the bronchial lining, it can lead to symptoms such as hemoptysis, and when it invades the lower part of the lung and touches the diaphragm, hiccups can occur; if it invades the pleura and ribs, chest pain and pleural effusion can occur, which may lead to symptoms such as difficulty in breathing.
Late metastasis of gastric cancer has different symptoms in different organs, and the lung is its common metastasis.
