First of all, to be clear, pain in one area does not mean that there is a tumor in that area. Because many diseases can cause pain, such as lung cancer patients, when the lung tumor is pulled to the pleura, or there are metastases to the bones and show thoracic metastases, back pain will be shown. But not all back pain is a tumor, such as cholecystitis, gallstones patients, sometimes show reflex pain leading to back pain. In addition, heart problems can manifest as back pain. Bone changes and degenerative changes in the thoracic and lumbar spine can manifest as back pain. Some patients are sometimes fatigued and can also manifest back pain. Back pain is only a symptom and does not indicate cancer.
