It's a stage 2 Pancoast tumor at the top of your lung.
是在你肺尖的II期上叶顶部肺癌。

As it turns out, the majority of Pancoast tumors are non-small cell lung tumors, but a few are small cell lung tumors.
事实上,大部分肺上沟瘤是非小细胞肺癌,但也有一小部分是小细胞肺癌。

This point is super close to the lung apices and so susceptible to compression or even invasion from a nearby Pancoast tumor.
该处非常接近肺尖,很容易被压迫,甚至遭到附近的肺上沟瘤侵袭。

A Pancoast's tumor is usually diagnosed with a CT scan or a chest x-ray, which will show a tumor in the lung apex.
肺上沟瘤一般通过CT或胸片显示肿瘤位于肺尖部而诊断。

A Pancoast tumor in the right lung apex can also compress a large vein called the superior vena cava which drains blood from the head, upper chest, and arms.
右侧的肺上沟瘤还会压迫上腔静脉;上腔静脉汇集头部、上胸部和上肢的血液。

Most of the time, the signs and symptoms of Pancoast tumors result from the tumor creating local inflammation and swelling and pushing up against nearby nerves or blood vessels – which disrupts their function; a phenomenon known as mass effect.
This compression could be caused by a cervical rib, which is a congenital anomaly where an extra rib is located above the first rib; or by a Pancoast tumor, a type of lung cancer where tumor forms at the tip of the lung.
If a pancoast tumor pushes on or invades these sympathetic nerves, it can cause miosis - a small or constricted pupil, ptosis - a droopy eyelid, and anhydrosis - a failure to sweat, all on the ipsilateral, or same side, of the face as the nerve.
