Early-stage lung cancer generally has no significant symptoms and is not easy to detect. As the condition worsens, the tissues around the lungs will be affected and various symptoms will appear, including︰

Prolonged cough does not heal
Faint chest pain or tingling when coughing or taking deep breaths
Shortness of breath
Blood in sputum
Hoarse voice
Persistent lung infection
Chest or shoulder pain
Loss of appetite and weight loss
Dysphagia
Swelling of the round drum of the fingertips
Swelling of the lymph glands in the neck
Extremely tired
However, the above symptoms are not limited to lung cancer, and similar conditions can occur in other diseases. If the symptoms last for more than three weeks, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. If you haven't been diagnosed for a day, there is no need to worry too much.
