Liver metastases from lung cancer
Introduction
Introduction to liver metastasis of lung cancer Liver metastasis: The liver is also a common metastatic site for lung cancer, with approximately 28-33% of lung cancers showing liver metastases. Liver metastasis is a cancer of primary lung cancer. After shedding, the cancer cells invade the liver through blood circulation and grow in the liver. The liver metastasis can be single or multiple nodular metastases. basic knowledge The proportion of sickness: 0.01%-0.018% Susceptible people: no specific population Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: fulminant hepatic failure
Cause
Causes of liver metastasis from lung cancer
The main cause of liver metastasis of lung cancer is liver metastasis caused by the lack of timely detection and treatment of primary lung cancer.
Prevention
Lung cancer liver metastasis prevention
Early detection and early diagnosis and early treatment.
Complication
Lung cancer liver metastasis complications Complications fulminant hepatic failure
Complications such as vomiting and muscle weakness may occur.
Symptom
Lung cancer liver metastasis symptoms Common symptoms Adipose transaminase increased liver rhubarb
The most common symptom is persistent pain in the liver area, accompanied by loss of liver function such as loss of appetite and indigestion. The liver is also one of the most common metastatic sites for lung cancer. Small cell lung cancer and lung adenocarcinoma are the most common. Clinically, about 28%-33% of lung cancer patients have liver metastases.
Liver metastasis of lung cancer, along with metastatic disease, presents a series of liver diseases that cause great pain to the patient and can be life-threatening in severe cases. To a certain extent, liver metastasis of lung cancer will also show the public symptoms of the tumor, but due to the specificity of liver function, liver metastasis of lung cancer will show certain uniqueness in symptoms. Common symptoms are pain in the liver area, which is persistent pain, and may be accompanied by loss of appetite, dyspepsia and other liver function impairments. In the later stage, symptoms of weight loss and jaundice may appear. Patients with advanced lung cancer with liver metastases showed weight loss, liver pain, jaundice, etc. Blood tests revealed large liver, moderate or hard, irregular edges, surface unequal liver metastasis, and CEA continued to increase.
Examine
Lung cancer liver metastasis examination
1, CT examination.
2. Liver function tests.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis and differentiation of liver metastasis from lung cancer
Early diffuse lung cancer liver metastasis may have no symptoms, no abnormal findings, sometimes ALT or AST (glutamate or aspartate aminotransferase) mildly moderate, B-ultrasound may have diffuse heterogeneity changes, should pay attention to other livers Disease identification.
