Lung cancer occurs in the bronchial mucosa epithelium, and its incidence rate has increased significantly in the past 50 years. Lung cancer has become a major disease that endangers life and health. Almost 2/3 of lung cancer patients are already in advanced stage (stage III or IV) when they are diagnosed. 95% of patients can have clinical examination results, and primary tumor, metastasis, systemic symptoms or tumor concomitant symptoms can be the first symptoms of patients.
The first symptoms caused by primary tumor account for 27%, and the symptoms are related to the site of primary tumor. Central type lung cancer manifests as irritating dry cough, breath-holding, recurrent episodes of pneumonia in the same area, hemoptysis or asthma, symptoms of retropharyngeal nerve, phrenic nerve compression or superior vena cava compression syndrome. Peripheral tumors are more commonly associated with chest pain, breath-holding or pleural effusion. Large peripheral type lesions, central necrosis, and cavities eventually present with lung abscess-like manifestations, a common symptom grouping for primary lung cancer.
Distant metastatic lesions cause 32% of the first symptoms. The common distant metastatic sites are: lymph nodes, adrenal glands, liver, bone, lung, brain and chest wall, which produce some corresponding symptoms, indicating that lung cancer has reached advanced stage, such as: tumor near the mediastinal surface may invade the phrenic nerve, causing ipsilateral diaphragm paralysis, showing elevated diaphragm position and paradoxical breathing movement under fluoroscopy; invade the ipsilateral laryngeal recurrent nerve, causing hoarseness and Invasion of the ipsilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve causes hoarseness, ipsilateral vocal cord paralysis and fixation in median position; compression of superior vena cava causes edema of the head, face and upper limbs and anger of veins; invasion of pleura causes massive hemorrhage in pleural cavity. It can cause a large amount of hemorrhagic fluid in the pleural cavity, aggravating shortness of breath, or directly invade the chest wall, causing severe chest pain; lung cancer in the upper lobe apical part is at the entrance of the thorax, also known as supraglottic sulcus cancer, which can invade and compress the brachial plexus nerve, cervical sympathetic ganglion and subclavian artery, producing a series of specific symptoms, such as numbness and pain in the ipsilateral upper limb, gradually increasing It is difficult to tolerate; muscles and skin show atrophic changes, upper limb venous anger and edema; and cervical sympathetic nerve syndrome such as ipsilateral ptosis, pupil narrowing, eye sunken, no sweating on the face.
10% to 20% of lung cancer patients have tumor-associated syndromes, the most common ones accompanied by such symptoms are small cell lung cancer and squamous carcinoma. Common tumor-associated syndromes include: osteoarthrosis of pulmonary origin syndrome (pestle and mortar finger, osteoarthrosis, periosteal hyperplasia, etc.), SIADH (syndrome of abnormal secretion of antidiuretic hormone), hypercalcemia, etc., and Cushing’s syndrome, myasthenia gravis or male breast enlargement. About 16% of patients have neuromuscular symptoms. Some patients have a combination of skin diseases such as scleroderma and acanthosis nigricans.
The treatment of folded lung cancer includes surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Surgical treatment has been recognized as the preferred treatment for lung cancer, and the treatment plan should be selected based on the clinical stage of lung cancer. Radical resection is so far the only treatment that has the potential to cure lung cancer patients and restore them to normal life. Patients must be evaluated before surgery to see if they can tolerate the procedure. These tests usually include: clinical physical examination, pulmonary ventilation function, blood tests, etc. For marginal patients, lung perfusion scan should be used to more accurately assess lung function, or endurance test and coronary angiography to assess cardiac function.
