What are the symptoms of small cell lung cancer

What are the symptoms of small cell lung cancer? Speaking of this, I believe that many patients with small cell lung cancer don’t know much about it. Because in the early stage, the symptoms of small cell lung cancer are not so obvious, it is often ignored. In addition, they live and work in a busy and high-pressure environment every day, and some minor discomforts in the body are always mistaken for minor illnesses. So what are the symptoms of small cell lung cancer? Let's learn about it together.

Symptoms of small cell lung cancer include chronic cough, hemoptysis, chest tightness, shortness of breath, fever, chest pain, hoarseness, loss of appetite and weight, etc. These symptoms can also be caused by other chest diseases, so once they appear, you should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to clarify the cause and avoid delaying the disease.

(1) Cough: Cough is the initial symptom of about one-half to two-thirds of patients with small cell lung cancer;

(2) Fever: Fever caused by obstructive pneumonia or cancer fever;

(3) Chest pain: One-third to three-fifths of patients experience chest pain;

(4) Chest tightness and shortness of breath: one in ten to one in two people experience this symptom;

(5) Hemoptysis: One-third to one-half of patients with small cell lung cancer have this symptom, which is usually occasional blood in the sputum. About one-third of patients have this symptom as the first symptom.

(6) Symptoms caused by tumor metastasis account for about 10 percent.

The above is what I introduced about the symptoms of small cell lung cancer. Understanding the symptoms of small cell lung cancer is very important for its treatment, because small cell lung cancer progresses rapidly and is difficult to treat. You should be alert to the symptoms of small cell lung cancer and try to diagnose and treat it early. The recurrence and metastasis of small cell lung cancer is very high. During the recovery period, you can cooperate with Chinese medicine treatment to prevent recurrence and metastasis. Chinese medicine can inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells, induce apoptosis and differentiation, alleviate the patient's symptoms, and improve the patient's quality of life; Cordyceps, Dendrobium, etc. can replenish vitality and promote the patient's body to recover as soon as possible.
