Metastatic lung cancer

Metastatic lung cancer means that a cancer that began in the lung has spread to another part of the body.

The symptoms of metastatic lung cancer can vary depending on where the cancer has spread to.

Your treatment depends on several factors. These include what type of lung cancer you have, how big it is and whether it has spread (the stage). It also depends on your general health.

There is support available during and after treatment to help you cope. This includes support from your clinical nurse specialist, cancer charities, community services, and family and friends.
