Lung cancer is a prime cause of cancer deaths in both men and women. As with most cancers, treatment is more effective if diagnosed at initial stage. However, cancer in lungs often does not cause symptoms in the early stages but when it does, the symptoms can be easily confused with those for other conditions, so the leading cancer hospitals in India recommend visiting your doctor if you notice any of the following lung cancer symptoms.
Hoarseness
Hoarseness is an increased amount of effort used to produce a low volume of voice, which is a common sign of lung cancer. However, like other signs, hoarseness can have many causes. For example, tumors pressing the recurrent laryngeal nerve or blocking passageways lead to hoarseness along with other symptoms.
Persistent Cough
You could have a cough due to cold, allergies, or water down the wrong pipe, but if your cough never seems to go away, it can be a sign of lung cancer. Cancer in the airway can irritate your throat and make you cough. The lung cancer specialists in Delhi and around say it produces mucus, which worsens the cough and makes it bad.
Swelling of the Face and Neck
Tumors can put pressure on blood vessels ceasing the fluid to travel causing swelling in the face and neck. This could be a sign of lung cancer. In addition to swelling of the face and neck, people with this lung cancer symptoms may notice difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, or coughing.
Blood Discharge
Blood discharge from anywhere in the body can be alarming and might signal infection, inflammation, cancer or a number of other causes. Call your doctor at the first sight of blood from coughing, which is linked to lung cancer. Notify your physician to get the proper evaluation and treatment.
Frequent Lung Infections
According to lung cancer treatment hospitals, people with lung cancer are at a higher risk because tumor cells can trap the infectious agents, inhibiting the body’s natural mechanisms. Though frequent lung infections can be a sign of lung cancer, it can sometimes delay diagnosis as the signs of both conditions can overlap.
Pain in shoulder and upper back: This often is an unnoticed lung cancer symptom. The pain can result from a number of different processes. For example, pain in the shoulder can be due to pressure from a tumor on the phrenic nerve within the lungs. It could also be related to the spread of lung cancer to bones near or in the shoulder joint.

Fatigue
The reasons of cancer-related fatigue can vary. Some cancers release cytokines - proteins that cause fatigue. Some others can weaken muscles, reduce the body energy, and damage the lungs. If you’re experiencing any of these signs over a prolonged period, talk to your doctor.
Shortness of Breath
If you are suddenly tired after climbing the stairs or your daily walk, this could be a sign of lung cancer. The shortness of breath can come from a tumor blocking the windpipe. Trouble breathing when you’re sitting or lying down can also be a sign of trouble.
If you are experiencing the signs of lung cancer, please see your lung cancer specialist. Remember, that these symptoms of lung cancer may also be the symptoms of many other benign conditions but DO NOT IGNORE THEM!
