1. What are the symptoms of lung cancer?
Symptoms and signals of non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer are
generally similar.
Early symptoms are such as:
 lingering or worsening cough
 coughing up phlegm or blood
 hoarseness
 shortness of breath
 Wheezing
 chest pain that worsens when you breathe deeply, laugh, or cough
 weakness and fatigue
 loss of appetite and weight loss
You might experience recurrent respiratory infections such as pneumonia or
bronchitis.
As cancer spreads, extra symptoms depend on where new tumors exist. For instance,
if in the:
 lymph nodes: lumps, particularly in the neck or collarbone
 bones: bone pain, particularly in the back, ribs, or hips
 brain or spine: headache, dizziness, balance issues, or numbness in arms or legs
 liver: yellowing of skin and eyes (jaundice)
Tumors at the top of the lungs could affect facial nerves, leading to drooping of one
eyelid, small pupil, or lack of perspiration on one side of the face.

2. Together, these symptoms and signals are named as Horner syndrome. It can also
lead to shoulder pain.

Tumors can press on the large vein that transports blood between the head, arms,

variety of symptoms called paraneoplastic syndrome, which consist:
 muscle weakness
 Nausea
 fluid retention
 high blood pressure
 high blood sugar
 Vomiting
 Confusion
 Seizures
