AsbestosAsbestos DiseaseMesothelioma CancerLung Cancer Symptoms
Lung cancer symptoms are rarely felt until the disease has developed into an advanced stage. Even when symptoms are felt, people often tolerate them for some time before they seek medical assistance. For instance, it's easy to shrug off shortness of breath as being out of shape, or a chronic cough as a bad cold or allergies. More obvious symptoms, such as coughing up blood or dyspnea (difficulty breathing), may occur before medical advice is asked for.
Swollen lymph nodes are a sign of infection. The lymphatic system is the primary response system to infections. Malignant cancer cells can also enter the lymphatic system, causing the nodes to swell, and travel to more distant parts of the body, causing the cancer to spread rapidly. There are other lung cancer symptoms in addition to the primary symptoms. Some of the following may not appear to do much with the respiratory system but in combination with other symptoms can indicate lung cancer:
