A member asked:
What to do if i have pressure on chest from lung cancer tumors?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your doctor: Symptomatic treatment of lung cancer is centered on pain and symptom control. If you have chest pressure from cancer, initial treatment is medical, followed by radiation and/or chemotherapy. Surgery usually has little to do with this.
