Experts Highlight Persistent Respiratory Symptoms as Possible Early Lung Cancer Signs
Persistent cough, chest pain, breathlessness, and wheezing can be early signs of lung cancer, experts say. While many respiratory symptoms are often attributed to allergies or infections, persistent or recurring issues—especially a cough lasting more than three weeks or blood-stained sputum—warrant medical attention. Lung cancer symptoms may be subtle and mistaken for common illnesses, leading to late diagnoses. Awareness and early recognition of these warning signs are crucial given lung cancer's high global mortality rate.
