Why do lungs fill with fluid in end stage colon cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Edema : The end stages of many cancers involve fluid in the lungs which can make breathing difficult. There are many reasons; sometimes the cancer has spread to the lungs but not always. Malnutrition and the general body wasting of cancer also plays a role.
