Answer for What are the symptoms of lung cancer?

admin | December 3, 2014 | 0

A. Most cases of lung cancer don’t cause any symptoms until they’ve spread too far to be cured, but symptoms do occur in some people with early lung cancer. The most common symptoms of lung cancer are:

• A cough that doesn’t go away or gets worse
• Chest pain that is often worse with deep breathing, coughing, or laughing
• Hoarseness
• Weight loss and loss of appetite
• Coughing up blood or rust-colored spit or phlegm
• Shortness of breath
• Feeling tired or weak
• Infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia that don’t go away or keep coming back
• New onset of wheezing

Most of these symptoms are more likely to be caused by conditions other than lung cancer. Still, if you have any of these problems, it’s important to see your doctor right away.
