How to rule out early lung cancer

Lung cancer has a huge impact on our lives. It is a malignant tumor proliferation with a very high mortality rate, which brings great pain to patients. The pathogenesis of lung cancer is relatively complex, and there are many causes. It is almost impossible to detect it in time before the disease occurs. Therefore, the treatment of lung cancer must be handled with caution. First of all, the symptoms of cancer must be ruled out. Let’s take a look at how to rule out early lung cancer?

1. Cough. We also find this symptom when we have a cold, but it must be distinguished from the cough caused by lung cancer. The cough caused by lung cancer usually does not get better in a week or two, and sometimes it even contains blood. In many cases, it is a dry cough, and white foamy sputum may be produced. In addition, the cough caused by lung cancer continues to worsen as the tumor grows larger.

2. Fever. Many lung cancer patients will have fever symptoms, so if the body often has fever, and it is the kind of low-grade fever that does not go away, taking a lot of antipyretics will not be effective. You must not take it lightly. This situation will occur if it is a tumor occupying the space, and because it is a common symptom, it is often ignored by us.

3. Chest tightness and shortness of breath. The lung is the highest organ in our chest, connected to the bronchi, throat, mouth and nose. It is the most important part of the respiratory system. If a cyst blocks the trachea, the lung will not inhale enough air, causing shortness of breath and chest tightness, which will be aggravated after activity. If you suffer from chronic bronchial diseases, you should pay attention to regular check-ups, especially when the symptoms worsen suddenly!

4. Back pain. This type of back pain is not the kind of soreness caused by muscle strain. It can be said that there is no fixed pain pattern, such as tingling, dull pain, bloating, and the pain is not fixed in a specific location. It will hurt a lot when coughing or breathing becomes heavier. At this time, if there is tenderness 1.5 inches away from the spinous process of the third thoracic vertebra on the midline of the spine in the back, which is the "lung point", this can help diagnose lung disease. It is recommended to check for a confirmed diagnosis.
