Which period of lung cancer has shoulder pain

Shoulder pain may occur in late stage of lung cancer. In the early stage of lung cancer, there are usually no obvious symptoms, and the cancer cells are still limited, patients mainly have blood in sputum, chest tightness, cough, etc., and there will be no shoulder pain, but only in the late stage when the cancer cells have metastasized to the shoulder area or peripheral bone, which will destroy the bones and compress the nervous system of the shoulder area, then there will be shoulder pain. In addition, when supraclavicular lymphatic metastasis occurs in advanced lung cancer and the lymph nodes are large in size and fused together, it will also compress the nerves in the neck, thus shoulder pain will occur. Once the above situation is found, timely treatment is needed, such as local surgery and radiotherapy.
