Can back pain be lung cancer


Building a healthier future, together.
Back pain is not necessarily caused by lung cancer. Although lung cancer can also cause back pain, other diseases can also show symptoms of back pain. First, back pain can be caused by overwork, such as some patients who perform intense sports, may show back muscle strain, which may show symptoms of back pain. In addition, some patients with non-specific costal cartilage diseases may show pain in the costal cartilage, and when the pain is obvious, it may also radiate to the shoulder and back, thus causing back pain symptoms. In addition, patients with heart diseases and hepatobiliary diseases may also show symptoms of radiation pain in the back, so it is not possible to diagnose lung cancer simply through radiation pain in the back. Demonstrating this situation also requires going to the hospital to perfect relevant examinations to clarify the diagnosis and carry out scientific and standardized treatment.
