Hello, I had a doubt, can continuous use of Inhalers and Asthma drugs cause lung cancer?

1 Answer

Answered on 23rd May '24

As per my understanding you are having asthma and is regularly using asthma drugs like inhaler etc, and wants to know whether it will cause lungs cancer. Several studies have shown that chronic inflammation in the lungs caused due to asthma may be a factor in causing lung cancer. That means when asthma, is combined with other causes, may increase the risk of lung cancer. Consult a pulmonologist, who on evaluating the patient will help you to identify the risk factor in your case. Hope our answer helps you.

My mother is 52 Years old house wife and she's survive in chest Cancer past 3 years and didn't well Dr do treatment but feeling getting bad

Female | 52

Cancer is tough, but there's hope. Please let the doctor know if she feels worse even after treatment. Some symptoms such as coughing, pain, or feeling weak are of multiple possibilities. The doctor possibly has to ascertain if the cancer has recurred or if there is another problem. Waiting is not a good choice especially when you tell them how your mother is doing.

5 years is a good follow up after treatment is over. You may consider her cured, and go ahead with the vaccination. However, continue to be regular with your annual follow ups.

My brother has liver tumor he went through surgery but doctors said there is small amount of tumor left which cant be removed through surgery.my question is will it be removed by radiation therapy/chemotherapy?

Male | 19

Radiation therapy and chemotherapy are treatment options that can help shrink liver tumors. But the effectiveness of these treatments depends on various factors such as the size and location of the remaining tumor, and the overall health of the patient. It is best to consult with an oncologist to determine the most appropriate course of treatment for your brother's condition.

. Heterogeneous Soft Tissue Nodule in the Right Lower Lobe (RLL) Size: 14 x 8 mm This nodule is described as heterogeneously enhancing, which suggests it may have varying levels of blood flow or different tissue densities within it. This could be indicative of a tumor. 2. Air Space Opacification in the Right Upper Lobe (RUL) Finding: There is patchy air space opacification with interlobular septal thickening in the posterior segment of RUL. This could represent infection, inflammation, or more concerningly, metastatic disease or lung cancer causing these changes. 3. Left-sided Pleural Effusion and Subsegmental Atelectasis Pleural Effusion: Mild left-sided pleural effusion is noted. Pleural effusion can occur in the context of metastatic disease or cancer. Atelectasis: This refers to partial lung collapse, which may occur when there is a mass obstructing the airflow or due to pleural fluid. 4. Enlarged Mediastinal and Hilar Lymph Nodes Lymphadenopathy: There are multiple enlarged and necrotic lymph nodes, most notably in the right hilar region, with the largest measuring 35 x 25 mm. Enlargement and necrosis of lymph nodes can be a sign of metastatic spread. The presence of enlarged lymph nodes in the mediastinum and hilum is typical of malignancy spreading beyond the primary lung site. 5. Liver Lesion Size: 14 x 13 mm lesion in the right hepatic lobe, which is well-defined and peripherally enhancing. A hypodense lesion could indicate a metastatic tumor, especially since it shows peripheral enhancement, a characteristic of some types of metastases. 6. Skeletal Lesions Multiple Lesions: There are mixed lytic and sclerotic bony lesions, some with soft tissue components. These lesions involve the vertebrae, ribs, glenoids, sternum, sacral ala, iliac bones, and femur. Soft Tissue Components: Some of the lesions, such as those in the ribs and iliac bones, have a soft tissue component, which suggests more advanced involvement, possibly indicating metastases. 7. Other Findings: No signs of emphysema, bronchiectasis, or pneumothorax were noted, which is reassuring as it reduces the likelihood of certain types of lung diseases. The liver, spleen, pancreas, kidneys, urinary bladder, and prostate all appear normal on imaging, which helps to rule out major issues in these organs. Impression: The findings of a heterogeneously enhancing solitary pulmonary nodule in the right lung, with associated hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy, along with a hepatic lesion and extensive skeletal involvement (with mixed lytic and sclerotic lesions), strongly raise concern for metastatic disease, most likely originating from the lung. The primary lung cancer is a potential consideration, though other primary sites are also possible. Next Steps: Histopathological correlation: This means a biopsy or tissue sample should be taken from one of the lesions (pulmonary, hepatic, or bone) to confirm whether the lesions are malignant and, if so, to identify the type of cancer. This will help determine the best course of treatment. The overall picture suggests a metastatic malignancy, likely of pulmonary origin, but further investigations and biopsy are essential to establish a definitive diagnosis and treatment plan.

Yes the liver cancer can spread to other tissues. Some of the most common metastasis sites are the lungs, bones, and lymph nodes. Early diagnosis and management of metastasis are necessary for adequate prevention or control.
