Overview
Performing a chest x-ray is the first step if a patient reports symptoms that may be suggestive of lung cancer. Often lung cancers are picked up on a routine chest X-ray in a person experiencing no symptoms.
Chest X Ray
- An x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of lung cancer. Findings on an x-ray suggestive of lung cancer include:[1][2][3]
- An obvious mass
- Widening of the mediastinum
- Atelectasis
- Consolidations
- Pleural effusion.
- Mediastinal lymphadenopathy
- Lung nodules
