Body
was changed:
The patient was on chemotherapy for the squamous cell carcinoma of the lung, and after the second cycle, acute state worsening with already listed symptoms occurred.
After the examination by a neurologist, the patient was sent for a CT (not shown), which showed no metastatic lesions. Due to continuous worsening of her condition, brain MRI was performed which showed already described lesions, which in this clinical setting almost certainly represent metastases.
This fact puts this patient into stage IV according to the lung cancer staging system, with very poor prognosis.
