The Effects of Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is not detected immediately because the signs could easily be mistaken for a different and minor sickness. It could and would get worse in this case when it’s not diagnosed quick enough to be treated and the person may have less chance surviving it. The symptoms/effects of having lung cancer that may or may not have spread beyond the lungs include:


• Persistent and continuous coughing
• Coughing up blood
• Hoarseness
• Shortness of breath, wheezing
• Difficulty breathing
• Fatigue
• Chest, back or shoulder pain, especially during deep breaths
• Face and neck swelling
• Unexplained weight loss, loss of appetite
• Clubbing of the fingers (uncommon)
• Relentless bronchitis
• Weakness
• Headaches
• Bone fractures
• Bleeding, blood clots
• Depression
