About 25% of people who suffer lung cancer don’t feel the symptom. The cancer is detected during screening or a routine physical examination. But, there are lung cancer symptoms warning.
Commonly, the patients feel the respiratory symptoms like shortness of breathing, wheezing, hoarseness and a persistent cough. Smokers usually have these symptoms, and other conditions such as asthma, emphysema and chest infections. If you have or feel one or all of the symptoms, it should be evaluated and consult it with doctors, as it may be a symptom of lung cancer.The patients may cough up blood; it means the cancer cells erode lung blood vessels. This cancer may spread to chest wall causing chest, shoulder and back pain. And mostly, the patients will have experiences such as fever, fatigue, appetite loss and weight lost.These experiences may be sign of lung cancer symptoms.
If the lung cancer grows, it may occur complications such as such as collection of fluid in the tissue lining the lungs (pleural effusion), lung collapse, airway obstruction, and repeated lung infections. This deadly disease may spread to other parts of body such as the lymph nodes, bones, liver and brain. Bone pain and abnormal liver or brain function may result.
Like the other type of cancer, the later lung cancer is diagnosed, the less effective treatment options are. About 15 percent of lung cancer patients are diagnosed in the early stages of disease. Because the lung cancer symptoms usually don’t feel by the patients, we should take the awareness by doing routine screening especially if we feel the symptoms.
