Obstructive jaundice occurs when there is a blockage in the bile ducts, which hinders the normal flow of bile from the liver to the intestines. This blockage leads to a buildup of bilirubin in the blood, resulting in yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice).

Lung cancer, particularly small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer, can metastasize to various organs, including the liver. The primary mechanisms by which lung cancer can lead to obstructive jaundice. Lung cancer can metastasize to the liver, causing direct obstruction of the intrahepatic bile ducts. This leads to jaundice as the bile flow is.. Read More»
