Description
Nine reviewers catalog how blood cancers and their treatments show up inside the chest, in a 2025 narrative review. Chest findings can be the first sign of a blood cancer or a side effect of its therapy. Infections cause the most lung findings, yet up to half stem from the disease itself or its treatment.
The review sorts the non-infectious patterns by site. Swollen lymph nodes and fluid around the lungs are common, and the fluid may be cancerous or treatment-linked. Lung tissue can host lymphoma, leukemia spread, or rare protein buildup diseases. Airway disease is rare, while vessel problems range from cell-clogged flow to clots and high lung pressure. Treatment damage forms its own group. The authors stress that these patterns need different care than infection, so early recognition at diagnosis matters.
