What is bronchogenic lung cancer? The five symptoms of bronchogenic lung cancer are obvious

Bronchogenic carcinoma, also known as lung cancer, is a cancer caused by malignant tumors of bronchial epithelial cells. It is currently the most common malignant tumor. During the onset of the disease, patients may experience breathing difficulties, coma, or even shock. Since each person has a different type of lung cancer, the methods used by doctors are also different.

The symptoms of bronchial lung cancer are different during the onset period, and the impact on patients is also different. If it is not discovered and treated in time, it will affect the patient's life in the late stage and will also add a lot of difficulties to the treatment. The following is a detailed introduction to the 5 obvious symptoms of bronchial lung cancer. When encountering such symptoms, patients must seek treatment as soon as possible.

1. Cough: Since the cancer cells of bronchial lung cancer grow on the bronchial lung tissue, the patient will have a violent cough due to the irritation of the respiratory tract. Sometimes the patient will cough up blood, which is caused by the damage of the capillaries caused by tumor inflammation. Generally, the bleeding is intermittent or intermittent. In the late stage, sputum and blood will appear repeatedly, the color will be brighter, and occasionally accompanied by severe hemoptysis.

2. Fever: Since the tumor can cause bronchial obstruction, compression of the lumen, or formation of tumor cavities, the patient will have symptoms of fever. Depending on the severity, the symptoms are also different, which may be a low fever or a high fever. Generally, there will be improvement after using drugs to eliminate inflammation, but it may relapse at any time.

3. Chest pain: In the early stage, the chest pain of the patient will be relatively mild, mainly dull pain and dull pain, and the location of the pain may not be related to breathing. When it develops to the late stage, the pain of the pleura will increase sharply, and the patient will find it difficult to bear. Some painkillers need to be taken to relieve symptoms and improve the quality of life.

4. Shortness of breath: Since the tumor blocks the pulmonary lymph nodes or bronchi, it will cause pleural effusion. The patient will feel chest tightness, shortness of breath or suffocation, which may endanger the patient's life.

5. Hoarseness: This symptom usually occurs in the late stage of lung cancer. It is because the tumor continues to grow and compresses the recurrent laryngeal nerve, causing the patient's hoarseness.

The symptoms of bronchial lung cancer are generally not obvious in the early stage. The patient will not feel any abnormality in the body. The patient may have symptoms of coughing or expectoration. In severe cases, breathing difficulties may occur. As the tumor continues to spread, the patient will experience varying degrees of pain in the lungs or continue to lose weight. If you find obvious symptoms of lung cancer, you must go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.
