Dr. Sun Qifeng
Radiating pain in the front and back of the chest may be caused by local soft tissue injury. In addition, vertebral tumors, coronary heart disease, and lung cancer can also cause such symptoms. There are many factors that may lead to radiating chest and back pain. Patients can go to the hospital for a chest CT scan or electrocardiogram (ECG) to determine the specific underlying condition responsible.
