Dizziness is a common symptom for many people, and there are many factors that can cause dizziness, but one is related to the lungs.
A 70-year-old man living in Tianjin always felt dizzy during this time, and at first he thought it was caused by high blood pressure, but after taking blood pressure medication, his blood pressure returned to normal, and the dizziness still persisted. Accompanied by his family, he went to the neurology department and found multiple nodules in his brain on MRI, which looked very much like brain metastases caused by cancer. He did a chest CT and found a mass of nearly 6 cm in the lungs, and did PET-CT, which had a high metabolism and was considered a malignant tumor. At present, multiple brain metastases of lung cancer are considered clinically, which is already in an advanced stage, and the operation is of little significance.
I learned that this patient has been a heavy smoker for a long time, but he has never been to the hospital to take a chest CT scan to check for lung cancer, so he has not been able to detect lung cancer at an early stage. Here, I would also like to remind all long-term smokers that they should go to the hospital every year for chest CT examination for lung cancer, and only when lung cancer is detected in the early stage of lung cancer, that is, the stage of lung nodules, and timely surgery can a very satisfactory treatment effect be obtained.
