Signs and Symptoms of Lung Cancer (Part 2)

From MedicineWorld.org, here are more some signs and symptoms to watch out for:

Fluid in the lungs. Lung cancer may spread to the inner lining, or outer covering of the lungs (known as plura) and this may result in development of fluid accumulation between the lung and the chest wall (plural effusion). Development of plural effusion may result in increased shortness of breath.

Chest pain. Lung cancer can infiltrate into the chest wall and may cause pain in the chest. Development of chest pain in a high-risk person should alert the physician to the possibility of lung cancer with chest wall invasion, or plural involvement.
