Metastatic lung cancer is the cancer which spreads to other part of the body. lung cancer can spread to other part(http://www.slideshare.net/danielvhenny/lung-cancer-spreads-to-brain-and-its-symptoms) at very rapid rate. this slide shows the detailed note on lung cancer

1. What is
metastatic
lung cancer?

2. Metastatic lung cancer
• Meta static lung cancer is not the type of lung cancer
like small cell and non-small cell types.
• When the cancer breaks from the place and spread
other places of the body, they are depicted as
metastatic cancer.
• This condition does not occur at the curable stages of
lung cancer, lung cancer originates into metastatic
lung cancer
(http://lungcancersymptomsx.com/metastatic-lung-

4. How they spread?
• Lung cancer spreads if the primary tissue
breaks.
• This tissue then enters the bloodstream and
the lymph node which then makes the travel
process with ease.
• Through the blood stream, they enter into the
other parts of the body and develop into other
cancer cell.
• they spread to other lung, adrenal gland, liver ,
bones and bladder.

6. Process of cancer spread
• The primary tumor evolves and break from
the place where they are staying
• They mingle with the lymph and flowing
blood stream
• They attach to the wall of the blood vessel
and move to other organ and grow in that
location at very faster rate if the human lacks
sufficient immune system.

8. Diagnosis
• The metastatic lung cancer can be diagnosed
through following methods:
• The chest X-ray.
• CT scan
• Lung needle biopsy
• Bronchoscope
• Sputum Cytology

9. Symptoms

• Chemotherapy is the treatment methodology
which can be done when the cancer spreads to
certain limit.
• Radiation therapy
• Hormone therapy
• Stent placement in the airways
• Laser therapy

13. • This is all about the metastatic lung cancer.
Since all the data regarding the metastatic lung
cancer are known, the research about the
causes are still in the process.
• This metastatic lung cancer can spread easily
only when the primary cancer is left untreated
for long duration.
• The lung cancer can even spread easily to the
brain (http://lungcancersymptomsx.com/when-
lung-cancer-spreads-to-the-brain.html)

14. • Lung Cancer
Symptoms(http://lungcancersymptomsx.com)
is the blog which showcases on the lung
cancer types, causes and treatment process
with detailed explanation.
• The unknown facts regarding the lung cancer
are also revealed with some inspirational
