How do the symptoms of lung cancer manifest? An introduction to 3 clinical symptoms of lung cancer

If we interview lung cancer patients, we can find that most patients with advanced lung cancer had the habit of smoking in the past. So, if you like to smoke, you should read the following content so that you can understand the symptoms of lung cancer and avoid repeating the mistakes of your predecessors and contracting lung cancer.

How do lung cancer symptoms manifest?

1. Some male patients will experience enlarged breasts. Surveys and studies have shown that about 7.5% of patients have gynecomastia. This early symptom of lung cancer is often easily ignored, or even misdiagnosed as simple breast hyperplasia and removed.

2. Patients may also have other early symptoms of lung cancer, such as hoarseness with wheezing for no apparent reason; obvious swelling on one side of the neck; smaller palpebral fissure on one side, drooping eyelids, and constricted pupils, etc., which may sometimes appear when lung symptoms are not yet obvious. These symptoms are often ignored.

3. Lung cancer patients are often misdiagnosed as arthritis in the early stages, which coexists with bell-shaped fingers. It can first appear when the lung cancer lesions are small and difficult to detect, and manifests as migratory arthritis symptoms. Therefore, it is easy to confuse it with other diseases, so we must pay close attention to this early symptom of lung cancer.

For friends with a history of smoking, 50-60 years old is the high-risk age group for lung cancer. Many people even suffer from lung cancer due to secondhand smoke. This is because there are at least 2,000 harmful components in the smoke produced by burning cigarettes. The synergistic effect of a large number of carcinogens and cancer promoters in the smoke will damage normal lung cells and increase the risk of lung cancer.

Finally, experts pointed out that there are some areas with serious industrial waste gas pollution, and in these areas, the incidence of lung cancer is also relatively high. Therefore, if there are some industrial pollution areas near your home, you must pay attention. If the problem can be solved, then solve it. If the problem cannot be solved, then it is better to move to other places to live.
