What are the typical symptoms of patients with early lung cancer? Several typical symptoms of early lung cancer

Experts say that the early symptoms of lung cancer are not obvious, which causes many people to miss the best time for early treatment. Although the early symptoms of lung cancer are not obvious, if you pay attention to changes in your body and learn more about lung cancer, you can still detect the symptoms of lung cancer early. The specific content is introduced in detail below.

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.

The above are the early symptoms of lung cancer. Experts say that people with a long history of smoking should pay attention. If the cough does not heal for a long time and is accompanied by coughing up blood and chest pain, you should pay attention and go to the hospital for relevant examinations in time.
