In most countries, lung cancer mortality rates continue to rise, mainly because one of the most obvious early symptoms of lung cancer, in which, we remind all concerned about the following types of symptoms.
Lung cancers can arise in any part of the lung, but 90%-95% of cancers of the lung are thought to arise from the epithelial cells, the cells lining the larger and smaller airways (bronchi and bronchioles); for this reason, lung cancers are sometimes called bronchogenic cancers or bronchogenic carcinomas. (Carcinoma is another term for cancer.) Cancers also can arise from the pleura (called mesotheliomas) or rarely from supporting tissues within the lungs, for example, the blood vessels.
One should consult a health-care provider if he or she develops the symptoms associated with lung cancer, in particular, if they have
- a new persistent cough or worsening of an existing chronic cough
- blood in the sputum
- persistent bronchitis or repeated respiratory infections
- chest pain
- unexplained weight loss and/or fatigue
- breathing difficulties such as shortness of breath or wheezing
