FGFR1 in lung cancers: Treatment is largely ineffective, and prognosis is poor. Few patients survive longer than 18 months after diagnosis. Lung metastases may not cause any symptoms initially. The symptoms will vary depending on the number of tumours and their location in the lungs. Almost any cancer can metastasize to the lung, but some are more common to do so, including: Bladder cancer, Breast cancer, Colorectal cancer, Kidney cancer, Melanoma, Sarcomas, and ______.

Lung metastases: The lungs are a common site of metastasis of other cancers via the lymphatic system or the bloodstream. Cancers can spread to any location in the lungs, but most metastatic cancers develop near the edges of the lungs and in the lower lobes. There can be a single metastasis in one lung or many metastases in one or both lungs. Lung metastases may not cause any symptoms initially. The symptoms will vary depending on the number of tumours and their location in the lungs. Almost any cancer can metastasize to the lung, but some are more common to do so, including: Bladder cancer, Breast cancer, Colorectal cancer, Kidney cancer, Melanoma, Sarcomas, and ______.
