Self-examination of early symptoms of lung cancer

The symptoms of early lung cancer are not very obvious, which leads to an increase in the mortality rate of lung cancer every year, causing great harm to patients and their families. The following lung cancer treatment experts will introduce to us how to conduct self-examination of early lung cancer so that we can detect and treat it early.

In daily life, our lung function is very normal. If there is intermittent blood in the sputum, we should be alert to the occurrence of lung cancer. In addition to the first time, you also need to pay attention to chest and back pain, chest tightness and shortness of breath, unexplained fever, etc. In fact, there is no obvious location for these early symptoms of lung cancer, so we need to pay attention to them. Once lung cancer invades the pleura and chest wall, when the pain intensifies, it often develops into late stage lung cancer. It brings great difficulties to treatment and greatly reduces the possibility of cure.

Cough is usually the first symptom of lung cancer, but it is the most easily ignored symptom. It usually manifests as an irritating cough, characterized by paroxysmal choking coughs, and a feeling of not being able to cough completely. Generally, there is no sputum or only a small amount of white foamy sputum. Secondary infection may cause purulent sputum. If the condition does not improve but worsens after medication, you should be alert to the occurrence of lung cancer. If the cough suddenly changes in nature and is accompanied by a honking sound, it is likely to be an early symptom of lung cancer.
