Check up for lung cancer symptoms?

First, cough. Since there is something growing on the lung, generally speaking, if the bronchus is involved, there will be symptoms of cough, sometimes mistaking it as pharyngitis or a cold and taking it lightly, it's better to go to the hospital to take a CT, not X-ray, because the early small lung cancer is very small, X-ray can't see. And the most hateful is that early lung cancer generally has no symptoms, so it should be checked in time.

Also, pay attention to expectoration. If you cough up sputum with blood color, even a little bit of blood, you should be alert. Blood in sputum is a typical manifestation of lung cancer, but it does not mean that lung cancer, tuberculosis and other diseases will also have blood. So don't avoid going to the hospital, so as not to delay the best time for treatment.

matters needing attention

The second important thing is regular physical examination. In fact, it's not just for screening lung cancer, especially for the middle-aged and elderly people. When they reach a certain age, they must have a physical examination at least once a year. Don't worry about money. However, if they get this disease, they will lose half of their life's money.
