Lung Metastases
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Lung metastases are deposits of tumor cells that reach the lung tissue from a tumor originating in another part of the body, traveling through the blood or the lymphatic system.
Why they require attention: Their evaluation is part of the comprehensive assessment of the underlying disease, so they need to be evaluated by a specialized medical team.
Possible manifestations: They may occur without noticeable discomfort or be accompanied by a persistent cough, a feeling of shortness of breath, or chest discomfort, depending on their location and extent.
Which specialist treats them? The cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon takes part in evaluating lung lesions within a broader care team. With respiratory symptoms that do not resolve, the prudent course is to seek a professional evaluation that assesses the case as a whole.
