Dyspnea – Lung metastases

Tumor cells from lung metastases have the typical characteristics of the original type of cancer. Affected patients often have no symptoms at first. As the disease progresses, however, they may experience shortness of breath, a (bloody) cough and chest pain. Lung metastases can be detected using imaging examinations such as X-ray, CT, PET-CT and MRI. Which procedure is most suitable depends on various factors.
