What are the common symptoms of lung cancer? Check out the common symptoms of lung cancer

Lung cancer has become a common disease in today's society, and it has a high mortality rate. Its incidence rate is rising year by year, and the age of onset is getting younger and younger. There are many causes of the disease, one of which is closely related to the environment, so it is important to do relevant prevention in advance in daily life.

The incidence of lung cancer in men is twice that of women, which is closely related to men's smoking. Therefore, if men want to avoid lung cancer, then quitting smoking is the right choice. So, what are the common symptoms of lung cancer? I believe everyone is very curious. In fact, knowing these symptoms is very helpful for the diagnosis of lung cancer.

Although the early symptoms of lung cancer are not easy to detect, it is only because the tumor is not close to the trachea, so the patient does not have symptoms of coughing. If it does not touch the pleura, there will be no chest pain. If it does not infiltrate the blood vessels, there will be no hemoptysis. Therefore, in the early stage of lung cancer, the above symptoms will not occur because the lesions are small.

Some patients will have symptoms of joint pain in the early stage of lung cancer, but no patient pays attention to it. Even if they pay attention, they don’t think it might be lung cancer, so they miss the time for treatment. The reason why lung cancer causes joint pain is that cancer cells cause abnormal secretion of growth hormone during the process of proliferation and differentiation, which stimulates abnormal proliferation of bones and joints, and only causes symptoms such as swelling and pain in the joints.

After lung cancer occurs, patients will gradually develop these common symptoms, that is, cough, chest pain, hemoptysis, fever and other symptoms. Some men will also have breast hypertrophy, but it will appear about a year earlier than the symptoms of cough and hemoptysis. Some patients will also have hoarseness, which is caused by the metastatic lesions compressing the recurrent laryngeal nerve. Therefore, with the above symptoms, patients should pay great attention.

After reading the above, do you have a certain understanding of the common symptoms of lung cancer? Joint pain is common in life, especially in middle-aged and elderly people. Therefore, many patients will ignore it, or just think that rheumatoid arthritis has occurred. In fact, this may indicate the occurrence of lung cancer.
