Early Detection Of Any Disease Is The Key So What Are The First

Much research work has been dedicated to find out the first
symptoms of lung cancer. Cancer is that painful disease that
needs no introduction and cancer of the lung is one of its most
common forms. It is said that early detection of cancer is the
key to its prevention.

Extensive research works conducted at Mesothelioma research
clinics have uncovered some symptoms of lung cancer closely
linked with the disease.

Lung Cancer Symptoms

People addicted to tobacco and those who are constantly exposed
to the ill effects of asbestos are more susceptible to lung
cancer. Ignorance about the symptoms of lung cancer may lead to
a full-fledged blown up case.

Be on alert if you are having cough most of the time. This is
one of the first symptoms. A related symptom may be a change in
the nature of coughing. Other symptoms may be- being short of
breath and coughing up bloodstained sputum. Mesothelioma
research has established that aches while breathing, loss of
appetite, fatigue and loss of weight can also be the first
symptoms of the cancer of the lung.

These are considered to be the primary symptoms of lung cancer.
There are secondary symptoms too.

Sudden development of a hoarse voice is one of the secondary
lung cancer symptoms. Difficulty in swallowing is considered as
another symptom of cancer of the lung.

Swelling of the face due to blockage of main blood vessel and
swelling of neck due to enlarged lymph nodes may be other
symptoms as well.

Treat pain in the right rib region and shortness of breath due
to accumulation of fluid as warning signals of cancer of the
lung. When you notice any of them, visit your physician for a
thorough check-up.

Let's combat the deadly lung cancer together.
