Lung cancer is not far away from us. Knowing the early symptoms of lung cancer can help us prevent this disease.

Lung cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in the lungs. It is a life-threatening disease. According to statistics, the incidence of lung cancer is increasing year by year. It is the disease with the highest incidence among malignant tumors, and its mortality rate is also very high. There are many causes of lung cancer, the most important of which is an unhealthy lifestyle such as smoking and drinking. In addition, the increasingly serious air pollution is also a factor that causes the increase in the incidence of lung cancer. Therefore, lung cancer is actually very close to us.
