What are the disguises of lung cancer based on symptoms

The common symptoms of lung cancer are mainly stubborn cough and bloody sputum, but don’t forget that this is a malignant tumor that likes to play tricks, often using masks to confuse vision, so you must be vigilant in life and discover the disguise of lung cancer in time.

According to cancer experts, nipple lesions are only one of the masks they often use. There are five other masks that deserve people's attention:

1. Stroke: The coagulation factors of early-stage lung cancer patients increase, which puts the body in a hypercoagulable state and induces cerebral thrombosis, thus causing a stroke. In addition, the metastasis of lung cancer cells to brain tissue, which damages brain function and causes hemiplegia in patients, is also a factor.

2. Periarthritis of the shoulder: The lung cancer lesion is hidden in the apex of the left lung, invading the brachial plexus and inducing brachial plexus pain, which is extremely similar to "frozen shoulder", resulting in misdiagnosis and mistreatment and delaying the disease.

3. Joint pain Some lung cancers first "attack" the bones and joints, causing symptoms such as bone and joint enlargement, swelling, pain, clubbing of fingers (toes), etc., which easily "attract" the attention of patients and even doctors to "arthritis".

4. Low back and leg pain The clinical manifestations of lung cancer are diverse, especially for middle-aged and elderly people with a history of smoking. They should take routine chest X-rays and, when necessary, lung CT scans to detect possible cancer lesions early and minimize missed diagnosis of lung cancer.

5. Hoarseness: The metastatic lesions of lung cancer appear early and grow faster than the primary lesions. Therefore, hoarseness is the first thing that appears, but there are no lung symptoms such as cough, bloody sputum, etc., which is most likely to cause illusions.
