What are the specific early symptoms of lung cancer? Three early symptoms of lung cancer: early detection and early treatment

Early lung cancer has some symptoms, which are not easy to detect and are easily ignored, thus further developing into mid- to late-stage lung cancer and aggravating the condition. In order to achieve early detection and early cure, we need to understand the early symptoms of lung cancer. This article will give a detailed introduction to the early symptoms of lung cancer.

1. Shoulder and back pain: Peripheral lung cancer often develops posteriorly and upwards, eroding the pleura, involving the ribs and chest wall tissue, thus causing shoulder and back pain. Such patients rarely have respiratory symptoms.

2. Hoarseness: Lung cancer metastasis compresses the laryngeal nerve, which can paralyze the vocal cord muscles and cause hoarseness. Since lung cancer metastasis can appear in the early stage and sometimes grow faster than the primary lesion, the clinical manifestations of metastasis can appear before the primary lesion.

3. Bone and joint symptoms: These symptoms are more common and are also the most common symptoms of early lung cancer. Lung cancer cells can produce certain special endocrine hormones (xenohormones), antigens and enzymes, which act on the bone and joint parts, causing bone and joint swelling and pain, often involving the tibia, fibula, ulna, radius and other bones and joints. The ends of the fingers and toes often swell and become clubbed, and X-ray examinations can show periosteal hyperplasia.

The early symptoms of lung cancer are not obvious. Through the above detailed introduction to the early symptoms of lung cancer, friends should pay attention to it. If you experience shoulder and back pain, hoarseness, bone and joint symptoms, etc., you should go to the hospital to check whether you have early lung cancer so that you can take treatment and preventive measures.
