Metastatic Lung Cancer

Metastatic cancer to the lung describes the presence in lung tissue of tumor cells that originated in another organ and traveled there, without the lung necessarily being the starting point of the disease.

Signs that may appear: depending on the case, persistent cough, difficulty breathing, or chest discomfort may be described, although these symptoms are not exclusive to this condition.

Where does it come from? It reflects the spread of a tumor located in another part of the body to the lung through the circulation.

Team involved: its study involves the oncologist, the pulmonologist, and, in certain scenarios, the cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon. Because of its complexity, having an early professional evaluation is essential to understand each situation.
