Are there early symptoms of lung cancer when the lung nodule is 6 mm?

1. Generally, there will be no early symptoms of lung cancer when the lung nodule is 6mm, so patients do not need to worry too much.

2. The most common symptom of early lung cancer is cough, which is characterized by irritating paroxysmal dry cough with little or no sputum. When early lung cancer invades adjacent organs and tissues, there will be irregular dull pain or pain in the chest, which will be aggravated by coughing. Some patients with early lung cancer will have symptoms such as blood in sputum, coughing up blood, dyspnea, and hoarseness. Pulmonary nodules generally have no obvious clinical symptoms and are often found during physical examinations or other imaging examinations. The lesions are very limited and do not invade adjacent tissues. Generally, special treatment is not required.

3. It is recommended that patients go to a regular hospital for chest X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging, pleural effusion cytology, etc. to clarify the cause. If diagnosed with lung cancer, patients need chemotherapy, which is the main treatment for lung cancer. Chemotherapy can inhibit the bone marrow hematopoietic system, mainly the decrease of white blood cells and platelets. Granulocyte colony stimulating factor and platelet stimulating factor can be used for treatment.

4. After lung cancer surgery, patients should refrain from smoking to avoid promoting recurrence. Patients with reduced lung function should be guided to gradually increase their exercise.
