What are the early symptoms of lung cancer? 7 early symptoms of lung cancer

For most people, the treatment of lung cancer must be carried out according to the corresponding early symptoms, otherwise our treatment will not be able to achieve good results. Some people do not know where to start at the beginning of treatment. Here are some of the early symptoms of lung cancer.

1. When the phrenic nerve is compressed, it causes paralysis and ascent of the ipsilateral diaphragm. X-ray fluoroscopy shows that the diaphragm on the affected side moves slowly and there are contradictory movements when breathing in through the nose.

2. When the tumor is close to the pleura, it can cause reactive pleural effusion, and when it invades the pleura, it often produces bloody pleural effusion.

3. Cancer invasion of the vagus nerve can accelerate the heart rate, invasion of the myocardial conduction system can cause arrhythmia, invasion of the pericardium can cause pericardial effusion and symptoms of constrictive pericarditis

4. When lung cancer metastasizes through the lymphatic system, enlarged lymph nodes in the corresponding parts and compression symptoms in the adjacent parts can be seen. When lung cancer metastasizes through the blood system to the brain, bones, liver and other parts, corresponding physical signs will appear.

5. Other signs include pain in the joints of the limbs or hypertrophy and clubbing of the fingers, multiple neuritis, myasthenia gravis, Cushing's syndrome, male breast hyperplasia, mental abnormalities, etc.

6. The tongue coating is mostly thick and greasy, followed by yellow and peeling coating. The number of tongue cracks and thorns is significantly increased. The veins under the tongue are exposed, the large collaterals are full, the small collaterals are varicose, and the number of sublingual ecchymoses and petechiae is significantly increased.

7. Complexion. Lung cancer patients often have pale, dull, flushed, purple, red like makeup, crab claw lines, dullness, sallowness and other abnormal facial features, especially on the cheeks. In particular, the crab claw lines on the zygomatic area become more severe as the clinical stage worsens.

These are some common symptoms that appear in the early stages of lung cancer. When we treat it, we must understand them. In fact, many people do not have a clear understanding of these knowledge, so the treatment effect is not very good. I hope these can help everyone cure the disease as soon as possible.
