tüdmetasztázisok

Tüdőmetasztázisok refers to the spread of cancer cells from a primary tumor in another part of the body to the lungs. These secondary lung tumors are not primary lung cancers, but rather malignant cells that have traveled through the bloodstream or lymphatic system. The most common primary cancers that metastasize to the lungs include breast, colon, prostate, kidney, and melanoma. Symptoms can vary widely and may include a persistent cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, coughing up blood, and unexplained weight loss. However, in some cases, tüdőmetasztázisok may present with no noticeable symptoms, especially in their early stages. Diagnosis often involves imaging techniques such as chest X-rays, CT scans, and PET scans, along with a biopsy to confirm the presence of cancer cells. Treatment approaches depend on the type and extent of the primary cancer, as well as the number and size of the lung metastases. Options may include surgery to remove the affected lung tissue, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy. The prognosis for tüdőmetasztázisok is generally dependent on the original cancer's aggressiveness and its response to treatment.
