Lung Cancer Signs & Symptoms

You may not notice any symptoms of lung cancer ― many people don’t. Often the first sign of the disease is an abnormal spot that appears on a chest x-ray or a CT scan for another medical condition.

It’s possible you may experience one or more of the following symptoms:

• coughing
• shortness of breath
• chest pain
• loss of appetite
• coughing up phlegm, mucus, or blood
• fatigue

Many other conditions can cause these issues. If you have symptoms like these, talk with your doctor to help you figure out what’s causing them.
