What are the symptoms of lung cancer? Introduction to the specific symptoms of lung cancer

Lung cancer is also one of the most common cancers. Especially in recent years, the number of lung cancer patients has increased year by year, which makes people very afraid of lung cancer. Therefore, we should understand the early symptoms of lung cancer and make sure to detect and treat it early. Otherwise, it will directly threaten the patient's life. The following is a detailed introduction:

Experts point out that not all lung cancer patients will have symptoms, so we should be more alert to other symptoms of lung cancer. Coughing is a typical symptom of lung cancer, and it is mainly irritating and dry cough, which lasts for more than 2 weeks. Coughing and expectoration are often repeated, with blood in the sputum, and coughing up blood is not common. In the early stage of lung cancer, there will be unexplained fever symptoms, generally around 38 degrees. It is easy to reduce fever after anti-inflammatory treatment, but if the inflammation is not eliminated, repeated symptoms will occur. Patients often experience shortness of breath and chest pain for unknown reasons.

Lung cancer patients are found to have lung shadows during physical examinations, inflammation limited to a certain lobe or segment, local emphysema or atelectasis. Patients may also have unexplained masses and nodules in the neck and armpits from time to time. After the condition of tuberculosis patients has stabilized after treatment, the lesions relapse and worsen. Patients may also have repeated inflammation in the same part of the lungs, and the effect of active anti-inflammatory treatment is not good. These symptoms will occur in the early stage and can be easily ignored if the patient does not pay attention.

Since the early symptoms of lung cancer can be easily confused with other diseases, thus delaying the treatment of lung cancer, if you have the above symptoms, you must go to a regular hospital for active treatment. It should be noted that if lung cancer is diagnosed early and treated in time, the cure rate is still high.
