Check what are the symptoms of lung cancer

Early symptoms of lung cancer generally include cough, hemoptysis, chest and back pain, wheezing, and unexplained fever. We know that lung cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in our respiratory organ, the lungs, so the symptoms are closely related to the location where it occurs. Generally speaking, lung cancer is divided into central lung cancer and peripheral lung cancer.

Central lung cancer generally presents symptoms slightly earlier because it occurs in the main bronchi, and cough, blood in sputum, or chest discomfort may occur earlier. Peripheral lung cancer may present chest pain once the tumor accumulates to the pleura when it is discovered. If it progresses further, pleural lesions may occur, resulting in pleural effusion.

When lung cancer was discovered, Director Wang Qiang emphasized the high-risk groups. At present, the first is heavy smoking, and the second is a family history or a history of malignant tumors in the immediate family, especially a history of lung cancer, which indicates that the gene's resistance to anti-cancer substances is relatively poor. In addition, there is exposure to occupational pollution, such as working in a workplace with radioactive pollution or working in a workplace with chemical, physical, etc. that can cause cell damage for a long time, which we also need to check regularly.

Finally, if you have an irritating dry cough, a cough of a coughing nature, of course, everyone will have a cough, and if you have a persistent dry cough and there is blood in it, you should be particularly worried and go to the hospital for examination. Other chest pain or chest discomfort, if you are a heavy smoker and the several high-risk groups just introduced, you also need to check regularly. Early detection requires regular physical examinations, including chest X-rays, blood tests, and other corresponding tests. This can detect early lung cancer and provide timely treatment.
