What are the early symptoms of bronchogenic carcinoma?

Bronchogenic lung cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in the trachea, bronchi and lungs. In the early stages, it may cause symptoms such as coughing, sputum, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and chest pain.

1. Cough and sputum: The degree of cough varies due to the different growth locations and speeds of tumors. When the tumor grows in the large airways, the patient will experience paroxysmal irritating coughs. Once secondary infection occurs, the amount of sputum increases. If the disease continues to progress, different degrees of blood in sputum or hemoptysis will occur.

2. Chest tightness and shortness of breath: Cancer can easily lead to bronchial stenosis, sometimes compressing the large airways, causing varying degrees of chest tightness and shortness of breath, affecting normal breathing, and inducing symptoms such as dyspnea if symptoms worsen.

3. Chest pain: When the tumor invades the pleura or chest wall, the patient's condition worsens, and symptoms such as dull pain and dull pain appear. If the ribs and spine are invaded, the pain will continue to worsen.

In addition to the above symptoms, hoarseness, difficulty swallowing and other manifestations may also occur. In the early stages, medical treatment is needed in a timely manner, while improving the quality of life and balancing the diet during the illness.
