Lung cancer doesn't always show any signs or symptoms in the early stages. If symptoms do occur, they may include:
- Shortness of breath
- A cough that doesn't go away or a change in a chronic cough
- Coughing up blood, even a small amount
- Chest pain or wheezing
- Hoarseness
- Joint pain
- Headaches
- Weight loss
If you suspect you have lung cancer, see a doctor right away. Lung cancer screenings are available for those who may be a higher risk.
