What are the symptoms of mid-stage lung cancer? Which groups of people are more likely to develop lung cancer?

Lung cancer has no obvious symptoms in the early stages, but the cancer has been growing for some time, so lymph node metastasis may occur in the middle stages. At this time, the patient may also have an obvious cough and cough up blood. Hoarseness is also the most common symptom of patients with mid-stage lung cancer.

Lung cancer is a common cancer. This type of cancer has no obvious symptoms in the early stages and is generally not noticed by people. However, as the cancer gradually worsens, some needle-like symptoms will appear, which are symptoms that will appear in the middle stage. So what are the symptoms of lung cancer in the middle stage?

In the middle stage of lung cancer, the patient will first have a cough and sputum. Severe patients will also cough up blood and sputum. Unexplained hoarseness is also a common symptom of middle stage lung cancer. The reason for the hoarseness is that the tumor invades the left recurrent laryngeal nerve of the mediastinum, causing hoarseness. Patients in the middle stage will also experience shortness of breath. The main reason is that the tumor blocks the trachea and bronchi, causing tracheal stenosis and bronchial obstruction, resulting in atelectasis and widespread spread of lung cancer. When such symptoms appear, you should go to the hospital for relevant examinations in time.

Patients with mid-stage lung cancer mainly have coughing up blood. Different patients will have different symptoms of vomiting blood. Some people will have repeated small amounts of bloody sputum, which does not last long, but some people will have large amounts of coughing up blood, which lasts for different periods of time, usually a few days or even months. This situation is still quite serious and requires timely treatment in the hospital. Patients with mid-stage lung cancer can still be treated through surgery, so don't miss the opportunity for treatment to avoid worsening of the condition.

The occurrence of lung cancer is closely related to daily life factors. Generally, long-term smokers have a much higher chance of developing lung cancer than normal people. If they stay in a bad environment for a long time, the chance of developing lung cancer will also increase. People who usually smoke should smoke less. Smoking is not only harmful to themselves, but also affects the people around them. Therefore, long-term smokers should go to the hospital regularly to check the condition of their lungs, so as to detect it as early as possible, and effectively control and treat it, so that the condition will not worsen.
