What symptoms may occur in Lung Cancer?
The clinical manifestations of lung cancer are highly variable because they depend on both the type of tumor, and the location and extension.
Signs and symptoms can be grouped into four sections:
- Local symptoms: cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, hemoptysis, dysphonia (due to involvement of recurrent laryngeal nerve, either by direct tumor invasion or lymph node involvement next).
- General symptoms: Weight loss, weakness or fatigue and anorexia that are generally in advanced stages of disease.
