Lung has cancer, does the skin know ahead of time? Reminder: if there are 3 kinds of skin changes, we should pay attention to them!

Lung cancer is a serious respiratory disease, mainly related to environmental pollution, occupational exposure, smoking heredity and previous chronic lung disease.

This disease is not infectious, but has a certain family aggregation and genetic susceptibility.

Once suffering from the disease, the patient's skin will appear abnormal changes, what are the abnormal changes?

1. Pruritus

The main reason is that the lung problems lead to the decline of lung function, the accumulation of a large number of toxins in the body and with the blood circulation to all parts of the body, and then stimulate the skin.

This symptom is particularly obvious in the chest, because the lungs are mainly located in the chest. If severe pruritus is found in the chest, we must be alert to the possibility of the disease and carry out relevant treatment in time.

2. Erythema

Cancer cells multiply rapidly in the body and circulate with the blood to all parts of the body.

When the cancer cells metastasize to the skin, the patient's skin will grow erythema. With the development of the disease, erythema will be more and more obvious, the area will be larger and larger, if the patient is not treated in time, it will cause very serious consequences.

3. Skin color deepened

The tumor blocked the airway, resulting in poor breathing and insufficient blood and oxygen supply to all parts of the body.

When the blood oxygen in the skin is insufficient, the patient's face will lose blood color, and appear the symptoms of blackening, which is more obvious at the end of the fingers and other places where the blood delivery is relatively slow.

In addition, the patient's skin elasticity will become worse due to ischemia and hypoxia, and then slow down the rebound speed of the skin when pressing the skin.

In addition, the patient's skin may also have ulcers. This kind of ulcers is mainly related to pruritus of the skin, continuous scratching of the patient, and no timely treatment. If the skin has serious itching, it is necessary to use relevant drugs to stop itching in time, avoid scratching, and prevent skin rags and ulcers.

In addition to the use of antipruritic drugs to relieve itching, patients also need effective treatment for specific diseases.

So what are the treatment methods of the disease?

1. Molecular targeted therapy

Through the use of bevacizumab, kezotinib, gefitinib and other molecular targeted drugs, it can inhibit the growth and reproduction of tumor cells, resulting in the death of tumor cells, and significantly prolong the survival of patients.

These drugs will not affect the normal tissue, but before medication, the patient needs to be tested for genes and other aspects.

2. Resection

The resection of the disease can be divided into two types: local and enlarged. The former is mainly suitable for patients with small size, old and weak, poor lung function or very early stage, while the latter is suitable for patients with larger tumors.

Through resection, the long-term survival rate and quality of life of patients can be significantly improved.

When these changes are found, patients should go to chest X-ray, endoscopy, CT, cytology, histology, laboratory and other examinations in time. After finding out, we can treat the patients with drugs or surgery according to the actual situation.

Patients should also pay attention to nursing, reasonable diet, exercise, away from all pathogenic factors, at the same time, regular review.
