early symptom of lung cancer

Early Symptoms of Lung Cancer

Common signs and symptoms of lung cancer include:

A cough that doesn't go away and gets worse over time

Constant chest pain

Coughing up blood

Shortness of breath, wheezing, or hoarseness

Repeated problems with pneumonia or bronchitis

Swelling of the neck and face Loss of appetite or weight loss

Fatigue

These symptoms may be caused by lung cancer or by other conditions. It is important to check with a doctor.

The symptoms of lung cancer frequently go unrecognised in the early stages of the disease, experts say.

Lung cancer typically makes itself known through coughing, breathlessness and weight loss, said Professor Dieter Koehler, president of the German Society for Pneumology and Respiratory Medicine in Werne, North Rhine Westphalia.

Further symptoms are pains in the chest and swollen fingertips, the so-called clubbed finger.

An X-ray, an endoscopic examination of the lungs or an analysis of the mucus the patient coughs up are ways of determining whether the patient has lung cancer, said Michael Barczok of the German Federal Association of Pneumologists in Heideheim.

People at greatest risk of lung cancer are current and former smokers, as well as people whose relatives have already developed lung cancer or chronic obstructive lung diseases, experts say. The risk of getting a bronchial cancer is two to three times greater among people who have a biological relative who had lung cancer, Koehler said.

The disease usually begins at a younger age among people with a genetic disposition, according to Koehler.

"They become ill at age 50 as opposed to age 70," he said.

The earlier the disease is detected, the better the survival rate. Only 15 percent of the people age 70 or older who are diagnosed with the disease are still alive five years later. Lung cancer is the cause of death for more than 40,000 people annually in Germany, making it one of the most common malignancies.

bladder cancer symptom

The symptoms for bladder cancer are not specific. Many other diseases, including inflammatory conditions, involving the bladder and kidney may cause similar symptoms. However, since early detection is important in curing bladder cancer, if you have these symptoms, you should bring them to the attention of your doctor.

The most common first symptom of bladder cancer is blood in the urine called hematuria. Hematuria is either visible or microscopic.

o Gross hematuria describes urine that appears red or brown and can be seen with the naked eye

o Microscopic hematuria means the red blood cells are visible if a urine sample is examined under a microscope

Irritative urination symptoms may also be associated with bladder cancer and include:

o pain and burning on urination,

o a sense of incomplete emptying of the bladder after urination and

o having to urinate more frequently or at shorter intervals.

The symptoms above could also indicate problems (less serious) other than bladder cancer.

Bladder Cancer Symptoms

Bladder cancer is common disease in the United States. Research tells us that it occurs mainly in industrialized countries, such as the US, France, and Canada.

Bladder cancer symptoms are few, yet very noticeable. Bladder cancer symptoms include:

Blood in the urine: The presence of blood in urine, is called hematuria. Blood can either be seen by the eye, in which it is called gross hematuria. Blood can also be seen under a microscope, and it is then called microscopic hematuria.

Pain during urination: Pain during urination is called dysuria. Pain can range from mild to severe.

Frequent urination: Having to urinate often and during the night is also a symptom.
