what are the symtoms of lung cancer?

Answer 1

LUNG CANCER - Malignant tumour of the lung. Four major types (squamous-cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, large-cell carcinoma, and small-cell carcinoma) have roughly equal prevalence.

Lung cancers tend to spread very early, and only 15% are detected in their early stages. The chances of early detection, however, can be improved by seeking medical care at once if any of the following symptoms appear:

* a cough that does not go away
* chest pain
* shortness of breath
* persistent hoarseness
* swelling of the neck and face
* significant weight loss that is not due to dieting or vigorous exercise
* fatigue and loss of appetite
* bloody or brown-colored spit or phlegm (sputum)
* unexplained fever
* recurrent lung infections, such as bronchitis or pneumonia

However, these symptoms may be caused by diseases other than lung cancer. It is vital, however, to consult a doctor to rule out the possibility that they are the first symptoms of lung cancer.

If the lung cancer has spread to other organs, the patient may have other symptoms, such as headaches, bone fractures, pain, bleeding, or blood clots. Early detection and treatment can increase the chances of a cure for some patients. For others, it can at least prolong life.-
