What are the symptoms of early lung cancer? Three major symptoms suggest lung cancer

With the improvement of living standards, the types and number of diseases are increasing. Many lung cancer patients will ask what are the manifestations outside the lungs? Let's take a look at some of the symptoms outside the lungs and the harm they bring to us. Please read carefully.

Extrapulmonary manifestations of early lung cancer:

1. Bone and joint symptoms: This type of symptom is more common. Lung cancer cells can produce certain special endocrine hormones (xenohormones), antigens and enzymes, which act on the bone and joint parts, causing bone and joint swelling and pain, often involving the tibia, radius, ulna and fibula and other bones and joints. The ends of the fingers and toes often swell and become clubbed, and X-ray examinations can show periosteal hyperplasia.

2. Shoulder and back pain: Peripheral lung cancer often develops posteriorly and upward, eroding the pleura, involving the ribs and chest wall tissue, thus causing shoulder and back pain. Such patients rarely have respiratory symptoms.

3. Hoarseness: Lung cancer metastasis compresses the recurrent laryngeal nerve, paralyzing the vocal cord muscles and causing hoarseness. Since lung cancer metastasis can appear in the early stage and sometimes grow faster than the primary lesion, the clinical manifestations of metastasis can appear before the primary lesion.

After reading the above article, everyone has a certain understanding of the extrapulmonary manifestations of early lung cancer. After this understanding, everyone must pay attention in life, detect the disease at any time, and go to the hospital for treatment at any time. Patients with this disease should not have too much pressure in their hearts, face life positively, develop good living habits, and actively exercise, which will be of great benefit to our body's recovery.
