What are defenite symptoms of lung cancer?


like what symptoms do u have to have to have lung cancer like if you dont have it you dont have lung cancer

There are no specific unique symptoms that distinguish lung cancer from bronchitis or many other respiratory illnesses. That is what makes it so difficult to find early. By the time our patients have symptoms from lung cancer, it is most likely advanced and very difficult to cure. We want to find lung cancer before any symptoms, but even then they are difficult to cure. The best defense against lung cancer is to not smoke cigarettes. A man who does not smoke is 23 times less likely to develop a lung cancer than a man who is a long term chronic cigarette smoker.

I think this info will help you out. There is a lot of very good information in these links about lung cancer. Including signs and symptoms. Hope this helps

Shortness of breath, cough, coughing up blood, weight loss, night sweats. Or worst of all, no symptoms whatsoever. Get a chest xray if you are so worried.
