With the cancer mesothelioma, what effect does metastasis to the lymph nodes have on the patient?
I’m doing some research and have heard that it’s common for mesothelioma, in more advanced stages, to metastasize to the lungs. What symptoms does this cause for the patient?
Thank you in advance.
Whoops, I meant lymph nodes, not lungs. And I am aware what metastasis means, I’m just wondering what metastasis particularly to the lymph nodes would cause.
Best reply by Elfinmagic:
Metastasize just means that it spread. With any Cancer the more it metastasizes the more it has spread and the harder it is to control or put into remission. Depending on where it metastasizes the cells start growing out of control there and spread throughout weakening where ever they are growing.
