Lung cancer can spread to different parts of your body, which is known as metastasis. Lung cancer commonly metastasizes to areas such as the brain, bones, liver, and adrenal glands. When cancer spreads, it can lead to undesirable symptoms in the organs it affects.
➡️ Pain:
Pain can occur in the chest or anywhere the lung cancer has spread. Typically, pain is felt when the disease has advanced.
➡️ Lung Problems:
If cancer blocks your airways, you might experience shortness of breath. Sometimes, breathing difficulties are caused by pleural effusion (fluid buildup around the lungs). When fluid accumulates, it makes it harder for your lungs to expand when you take a breath fully.
➡️ Nerve Problems:
Lung cancer can sometimes grow into and damage nerves, resulting in many different types of symptoms, including nerve-related pain, also known as neuropathy. Cancer treatments may also be to blame for this complication.
➡️ Heart Issues:
Some lung tumors can grow near the heart or major vessels in your body. When this happens, certain veins and arteries may become blocked, which can cause swelling in the chest, neck, or face.
➡️ Swallowing Difficulties:
If cancer grows near the esophagus (the tube connecting your throat to your stomach), you might experience difficulty swallowing. Some people also report feeling more pain when eating or drinking.
Osimertinib is a medicine that can significantly improve the survival rate for patients with advanced lung cancer with EGFR mutations.
