SYMPTOMS
In its early stages, lung cancer usually does not cause
symptoms. When symptoms occur, the cancer is often
advanced. Symptoms of lung cancer include:
Chronic cough
Hoarseness
Coughing up blood
Weight loss & loss of appetite
Shortness of breath
Fever without a known reason
Wheezing
Repeated bouts of bronchitis or pneumonia
Chest pain
These conditions are also symptomatic of many other lung
problems, so a person who has any of these symptoms should
see a doctor to find out the cause. When a person goes for
an exam, the doctor will ask many questions about the
person's medical history, including questions about the
patient's exposure to hazardous substances such as
asbestos.
