What does the specific symptom of lung cancer cough have

First: cough is the most common symptom of early lung cancer, easily ignored by patients, hemoptysis is the most diagnostic significance, mostly with blood in sputum. If the symptoms of respiratory tract can not be cured after treatment for more than two weeks, especially in patients with bloody sputum, dry cough or elderly patients with chronic bronchitis, the voice or nature of cough has changed recently, we should pay close attention to the possibility of lung cancer.

Second: cough is an early symptom, often without or less sputum irritating dry cough, when the tumor caused by bronchial stenosis can aggravate cough, mostly persistent, high-profile metallic cough or irritating cough. Bronchioloalveolar cell carcinoma may have a large amount of mucus sputum. When accompanied with secondary infection, the amount of sputum increased, and was mucopurulent.

Third: blood sputum or hemoptysis is more common in central lung cancer. If the tumor grows into the lumen, there may be intermittent or continuous blood in the sputum. If the surface erosion seriously erodes the large blood vessels, it may cause massive hemoptysis.
