What are the main symptoms of advanced lung cancer? The incidence of lung cancer in China remains high, and it has become one of the more common malignant tumors of the respiratory system. Let us follow the experts to learn about the symptoms of advanced lung cancer http://www..com.cn/zhongliu/fa/.

1. Hoarseness: It is a common symptom of advanced lung cancer. It is caused by the continued enlargement of the tumor, which invades the left side of the mediastinum and compresses the recurrent laryngeal nerve, resulting in hoarseness in the patient. The patient generally has no upper respiratory tract symptoms or sore throat reactions.

2. Chest pain: intermittent dull pain or dull pain. When lung cancer develops to the late stage, the tumor invades the pleura, causing the pain to intensify. Peripheral lung cancer may cause chest pain, shoulder and back pain, upper limb pain, intercostal neuralgia, etc., which generally make the patient's pain unbearable. At present, some painkillers can be taken clinically to relieve pain symptoms and improve the quality of life of patients with advanced lung cancer. This is also a symptom of advanced lung cancer.

3. Shortness of breath: Tumors blocking lung lymph nodes or larger bronchi can lead to pleural effusion or shortness of breath, causing the patient to experience chest tightness, shortness of breath or suffocation, which is life-threatening.

4. Fever: Tumor invasion may cause bronchial obstruction, bronchial lumen compression or tumor cavitation, which may lead to inflammatory fever symptoms.

5. Hemoptysis: Lung cancer in the late stage may cause intermittent and repeated small amounts of bloody sputum, usually bright in color, and occasionally severe hemoptysis. This is also one of the symptoms of late stage lung cancer.
