Especially, if there are problems like persistent cough, weight event, loss of appetite, shortness of breath or blood phlegm.
According to senior consultant and oncologist Dr. Sunny Jain, ‘Back pain is often caused by lifting heavy goods, sitting in wrong posture or aging. It usually gets relief from pen killer or muscle relaxation. But if the pain continues, then there is a need to be careful. Sometimes it can also be an early sign of cancer. Lung cancer is a disease in which lung cells do not remain under control and it starts spreading to other parts of the body, such as between spinal cord or other bones, which can cause back pain.
According to a research in 2024, ‘Non-Amal Cell of Advance Stage spreads in 30–40% of patients with lung cancer (NSCLC) spreads to cancer bones. The spinal cord is the most affected in these, which can sometimes cause pressure on the spinal cord (spinal cord). Research has shown that about 15% of the cases of spinal cord pressure caused by cancer are caused by lung cancer. Apart from this, complaints of pain in patients with lung cancer are also very common.
