The thoracic cavity is a very complicated space. Three quarters of the lung surface is surrounded by the chest wall, which consists of a thin layer of intima (parietal pleura), fat, muscle, ribs and skin in different proportions. Tumors invading any of the above parts will cause pain. Therefore, most lung cancer patients with regional spread in the chest have symptoms of chest pain.

A special area of the chest wall is formed at the top of the lung, that is, around the apex of the lung. Nerve fibers from the neck that dominate the sensation and movement of the upper limb enter the upper limb through this area. Therefore, if the tumor invades this area, you will often feel the pain and fatigue of the affected upper limb. As a kind of lung cancer, this so-called "Pan-Koster cancer", or superior sulcus cancer, often takes shoulder pain as the main symptom. This kind of pain often needs analgesics to relieve it. Usually, such patients are easily sent to plastic surgeons or neurologists for treatment, thus losing the opportunity of early diagnosis.

Nearly a quarter of the lung surface is adjacent to the so-called "mediastinum". The word "mediastinum" means "the middle part of the chest" and represents a space containing a series of living organs. The mediastinum is located directly behind the sternum and is considered as the "central area" in non-professional fields. The trachea and main bronchus pass through the mediastinum. The esophagus clings to the back of the trachea and extends downward through the trachea. The heart and its great vessels, as well as some great nerves related to life, also pass through this area. If the cancer has invaded the mediastinum, the following symptoms may appear:

● hoarseness is the most common symptom. The recurrent laryngeal nerve, which controls the left pronunciation function, goes down from the neck to the chest, bypasses the great vessels of the heart and goes up to the throat, thus dominating the left side of the pronunciation organ. Therefore, if the tumor invades the left mediastinum and compresses the recurrent laryngeal nerve, there will be hoarseness, but there will be no symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection such as sore throat;

● There is superior vena cava on the right side of mediastinum, which transfuses venous blood of upper limbs and head and neck to the heart. If the tumor invades the right mediastinum and compresses the superior vena cava, it will initially make the jugular vein swell due to poor reflux, and finally lead to edema of the face and neck, which needs timely diagnosis and treatment.

Finally, almost all patients with lung cancer with regional spread have different degrees of shortness of breath. Normal tissue fluid produced by lung and myocardium is refluxed from lymph nodes in the middle of chest. If these lymph nodes are blocked by tumors, these tissue fluids will accumulate in the pericardium to form pericardial effusion or accumulate in the chest cavity to form pleural effusion. Both of the above conditions will lead to shortness of breath. However, because many smokers have different degrees of chronic lung diseases, it is difficult to distinguish shortness of breath. In addition, because some lung tissues lose their respiratory function due to tumors, their respiratory function is impaired, which leads to respiratory discomfort. At first, this kind of discomfort only appears during exercise, and finally it can be felt even during rest.

All the above symptoms suggest that lung cancer is in the advanced stage. Unfortunately, their appearance makes the prognosis relatively poor.

Symptoms of extensive metastatic lung cancer:

Because early lung cancer is prone to distant metastasis, symptoms related to distant metastasis are often the first symptoms found by doctors or patients. If the lesion metastasizes to the brain, it may lead to persistent headache and blurred vision. Continued development may lead to confusion and even epilepsy. There is no obvious difference between this kind of headache and ordinary tension headache, so it is easy to be ignored by people. Blurred vision is mainly manifested as difficulty in reading newspapers or watching TV. Because most lung cancer patients are elderly people, they often mistakenly think that they just need to change their glasses, but the key lies in the change of vision nature. At first, it was very sensitive to changes in consciousness and vision.

If cancer metastasizes to bones, it will lead to bone destruction, and when it is destroyed to a certain extent, bone pain will also occur. If the external hard cortical bone is destroyed, the bone structure will be extremely unstable. Discomfort may occur in ribs, but if it occurs in long bones with heavy load, such as femur or humerus, it is also prone to fracture in daily activities.

Finally, the hardest thing is that lung cancer has metastasized to the spine. In most patients, spinal metastases can cause pain. But the problem is that cancer can further metastasize to the spinal cord. This will first manifest as back pain, and then spread to the lower limbs, which may lead to weakness and incontinence, and eventually lead to paralysis below the transfer point. Therefore, heavy smokers should pay enough attention to their back pain.

However, the most common symptoms of distant metastasis or systemic metastasis are fatigue and emaciation. All patients with distant metastasis have unexplained emaciation, which often occurs before loss of appetite, even if appetite increases.

The main symptoms of lung cancer are cough, hemoptysis or blood sputum, chest pain, fever, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and even general fatigue, emaciation, anemia, loss of appetite and so on. The effective remedies commonly used in clinic mainly include the following.
