How to determine the early, middle and late stage of lung cancer

First, the early symptoms of lung cancer are cough, hemoptysis, chest and back pain, wheezing and fever of unknown origin. We know that lung cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in our respiratory organs and lungs, so the symptoms are closely related to its location.

Second: Generally speaking, lung cancer is divided into central lung cancer and peripheral lung cancer. Generally speaking, symptoms of central lung cancer appear a little earlier, because it occurs in the main bronchus, and cough, sputum and blood or chest discomfort appear earlier. Peripheral type may be found, once the tumor accumulated to the pleura, there will be changes in chest pain, if it develops again, there will be pleural lesions, pleural effusion.

Third: the main symptoms of advanced lung cancer are: 1. Hoarseness is the most common symptom of patients with advanced lung cancer. 2. Shortness of breath, pleural effusion. Almost all patients with advanced lung cancer with regional spread have different degrees of shortness of breath. 3. Edema of face and neck. On the right side of the mediastinum is the superior vena cava, which transports venous blood from the upper limbs and head and neck back to the heart. If the tumor invades the right side of the mediastinum and compresses the superior vena cava, the jugular vein will be inflamed at first due to poor reflux, and finally it will lead to edema of the face and neck, which needs timely diagnosis and treatment.
