Treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who caught the disease in its early stages is usually successful. You can to leave it is localized in the lungs, surgical removal. Depending on the degree of lung tissue has impacted that location the surgeon can wedge resection, Lobectomy, pulmonary Prostatectomy surgery. Has spread beyond the lung unfortunately, large percentage of cases does not recognize disease until. This is a process known as metastasis. For curing conditions when it occurs, surgery alone is incorrect.
In this article, we will spread to other areas of lung cancer, how to learn. Learn to use medical treatment options are on the way to solve the disease.
The beginning of the transition
NSCLC tumors are cancerous cells so composed. These cells will eventually break from a tumor and travel to other parts of the body. Patients and their blood lymph system (part of the immune system), that can be done through.
Lung cancer is to explain in the context of the lungs is known as a primary tumor or cancer. Explain in the context of the area outside the lungs, and it is called a secondary cancer. Otherwise spreading NSCLC brain, for example, the surgeon "brain tumor pulmonary secondary" as rather "brain cancer to". This reference may actually dealing with transition occurs, and shows the former site of disease.
Spread of cancer cells in lymph nodes
Lymph node is first lung cancer cells to migrate. Cells are delivered through the lymphatic system. Moved to the early stages of the disease cell, for many this transition and are not necessarily. However, once cancer cells in lymph nodes, they can be distributed to other areas of the chest.
Does not exist, so this spread's doctor is almost caught symptoms. Lymph nodes of NSCLC has been detected that it treat chemotherapy is usually used.
Lung cancer-bone
Metastasis to the bone is common, and estimation of effects and 4-10 people late NSCLC stage the. Could be anywhere, entire body to the bone disease spread common site contains the upper legs, pelvis and spine. Patients experience pain worse disease advances. Miss pain of minor sports injuries such as people's muscle tone it is common.
Upon reaching the lung cancer bone it than treating disease symptoms relaxation treatment focuses on the progress to the point. Radiation therapy is the usual choice of treatment options. Patient receives medicine in order to minimize the pain.
When the disease reaches the brain
Too many people suffer from late stage lung cancer, brain Metastasis occurs. This is a loss of some side effects, headaches, seizures, and adjustment. Symptoms are similar to NSCLC reached the brain stroke side effect.
Surgery to treat, includes several options, including chemotherapy, Stereotactic radiosurgery. This latter option provides a specific part of a high dose of radiation brain tissue.
Liver cancer cells
Often accidentally discovered the NSCLC late early liver disease. Time cancer cells have reached the liver condition that are typically considered at stage 4. No symptoms other than those patients already suffering from it. Other times, under the rib cage pain or nausea, patients feel.
Bone metastatic NSCLC as purpose to reduce the treatment liver disease symptoms. Surgery is almost done at this stage.
You can't transition, from lung cancer cells are only operating in other parts of the body to cure the disease. See if you suspect there NSCLC will discuss treatment options most appropriate to your doctor.
