What’s wrong with coughing up black phlegm due to lung cancer?

Coughing up black phlegm with lung cancer may be caused by long-term smoking, tumors invading the bronchi, tumors invading the lungs, etc. After becoming ill, you need to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment.

1. Long-term smoking:

Since tobacco contains harmful substances such as tar and nicotine, long-term smoking will invade lung tissue and easily turn the lungs black. When you cough, these black precipitates will be discharged from the body. Symptoms of coughing and black sputum will appear. Quit smoking in time after getting sick and develop good living habits.

2. Tumor invades the bronchus:

After lung cancer occurs, the tumor will also invade the bronchial area, which can easily cause rupture and bleeding of the bronchial mucosa, resulting in coughing and coughing up blood. If the blood is not discharged in time, it will oxidize and turn black. Radiotherapy can be performed under the guidance of a doctor, which can kill local tumor cells and facilitate the recovery of the disease.

3. Tumor invades the lungs:

If the tumor invades the lungs, it can easily cause damage to the lung tissue and invade the surrounding small blood vessels, causing a small amount of bleeding, and the mixture of sputum and blood will cause symptoms such as coughing and black sputum. Chemotherapy can be performed using drugs such as paclitaxel injection, cisplatin injection, and vincristine sulfate injection.

In addition to the common causes mentioned above, there may also be other reasons such as esophageal cancer. No matter what the cause is, you need to cooperate with the doctor for treatment.
