What are the typical symptoms of lung cancer in the early stage? Several typical symptoms of lung cancer in the early stage

When lung cancer patients cough, they find phlegm with blood in the phlegm, so they should seek medical attention in time. Lung cancer patients always have repeated coughs, so they should go to the hospital for chest X-rays to prevent the disease. In our clinical work, we often encounter lung cancer patients who are misdiagnosed as other diseases such as tuberculosis or lung infection.

Lung cancer is a disease that threatens the human body. Although many people know that smoking is harmful to health, many people do not take it seriously before they suffer from the disease. Experts point out that smoking is one of the important factors leading to lung cancer. For men who smoke frequently, they must pay more attention to whether they have symptoms of lung cancer.

What are the typical symptoms of lung cancer patients in the early stage?

When people have shoulder pain, they think it is just frozen shoulder, but repeated treatments have not improved. One year later, they find that the shoulder pain they are used to is actually advanced lung cancer. Clinically, many patients initially feel shoulder pain, so they go to the orthopedics department for a "round trip" and then come back, only to find that it is advanced lung cancer that has metastasized to the shoulder, delaying the disease. According to experts, the misdiagnosis rate in this regard is relatively high abroad, especially when it is discovered, it is mostly advanced metastasis.

Clinically, patients with early lung cancer have many physical symptoms, such as uncured cough, hemoptysis and dull pain in the chest and shoulders; the nature of the cough of patients with chronic cough changes, turning into an irritating dry cough with blood in the sputum; repeated pneumonia in a certain lobe or segment of the lung; anti-tuberculosis treatment for tuberculosis patients is ineffective; X-ray shows that the shadows in the lungs continue to increase, etc. All of these require us to be alert to the occurrence of lung cancer and require further examination.

When coughing, if you find phlegm and blood in the phlegm, you should seek medical attention in time. Lung cancer patients always have repeated coughs and should go to the hospital for chest X-rays to prevent them from getting sick. In our clinical work, we often encounter lung cancer patients who are misdiagnosed as other diseases such as tuberculosis or lung infection. When the thoracic surgeon intervenes, the disease has reached the advanced stage, which is very distressing.

To improve this situation, on the one hand, we should strengthen the continuing education of doctors in various departments on lung cancer prevention and treatment knowledge; on the other hand, we should give full play to the multidisciplinary advantages of the lung cancer center. The members of the lung cancer center should include medical personnel from departments such as thoracic surgery, respiratory medicine, oncology, radiology, and pathology. They should conduct multidisciplinary consultations on patients suspected of lung cancer, make early diagnoses, and provide targeted individualized treatments.

Precisely because lung cancer may be misdiagnosed, in addition to having people undergo regular physical examinations, the re-education of hospital doctors and nurses should also be strengthened. Some doctors and nurses have accumulated a lot of experience in diagnosing lung cancer in their long-term work, and doctors can also regularly carry out relevant publicity and education activities.
