Metastasis02:30

Metastasis

Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Lung adenocarcinoma is a common malignancy.
  • Chemotherapy is a standard treatment for lung cancer.

Observation:

  • A 47-year-old man with lung adenocarcinoma experienced acute vision loss and eye pain after chemotherapy.
  • Ophthalmologic examination revealed iris nodular lesions and poor visual acuity in the affected eye.

Findings:

  • Ocular imaging confirmed iris tumors but ruled out choroidal metastasis.
  • Systemic evaluation showed no other metastatic sites.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a rare ocular complication of lung adenocarcinoma treatment.
  • Iris tumors can be a manifestation of metastatic lung cancer, impacting visual prognosis.
