Lung Cancer: Symptoms

 

Symptoms

There are no symptoms associated with early stage lung cancer. The American Cancer Society lists the following symptoms associated with advanced stage lung cancer.⁽¹⁾ A physician should be consulted if they persist. It is important to note, however, that these symptoms may be caused by factors unrelated to cancer:

• Persistent cough
• Sputum streaked with blood
• Chest pain
• Voice change
• Recurrent pneumonia or bronchitis
