Comments on: is it the same a lung cancer and a tumor that grow in the lung for the metastasise of other tumor? http://www.mesotheliomadown.com/mesotheliomafaqs/is-it-the-same-a-lung-cancer-and-a-tumor-that-grow-in-the-lung-for-the-metastasise-of-other-tumor-1267.html Mon, 23 Jan 2012 07:57:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Panda http://www.mesotheliomadown.com/mesotheliomafaqs/is-it-the-same-a-lung-cancer-and-a-tumor-that-grow-in-the-lung-for-the-metastasise-of-other-tumor-1267.html/comment-page-1#comment-4171 Panda Mon, 28 Jun 2010 15:13:12 +0000 http://www.mesotheliomadown.com/mesotheliomafaqs/is-it-the-same-a-lung-cancer-and-a-tumor-that-grow-in-the-lung-for-the-metastasise-of-other-tumor-1267.html#comment-4171 If you are asking if lung cancer cells and a metastasis from a breast cancer to the lungs are the same . . the answer is no they are not the same. A lung cancer cell orginates in the lung and will always be a lung cell. A breast cancer cell dislodges from the breast tissue and spreds to other areas . . that is called metastes. Metastatic breast cells can lodge in the lung and grow . . they are still breast cells, but are now growing at a distant site. Metastatic cancer cells can all be treated with the same protocol. In some occasions the patient may have two separate cancers . . a patient can have sarcoma and also have leukemia. In this case the patient may need to be treated for both diseases . . but it is extremely difficult. I do know one survivor who had both stage IV sarcoma and pre-leukemia, he was treated, had stem cell rescue, now disease free, and he is doing well right now.

For instance, cells from a large bowel tumor enter in the blood or lymphatic vessels and goes to the liver or to the lung. Having metastases means the cancer is in stage IV, the most serious stage of the disease. The treatment is variable considering the kind of the tumor, the number and places of metastasis, the status of the patient. Usually chemotherapy and radiotherapy are used for the primar tumor as well as for known and unknown metastasis (one metastasis means the cancer is spreading and probably there are malignant cells in other organs as well). Sometimes the primary tumor and the metastasis can be surgical removed. More about cancer on my blog: http://www.newcancerguide.com Cristiana Metastases is a tumor that looks like the primary tumor.

My mom had lung cancer, it was squamous cell and it spread to the liver. They did radiation on the lung but could not on the liver. They do different aggressive treatment for each type of cancer.
