Overview
Common symptoms of adenocarcinoma of the lung include dyspnea, hemoptysis, chronic coughing, chest pain, cachexia, dysphonia, and symptoms arising fromparaneoplastic syndromes.[1]
The majority of patients with [disease name] are asymptomatic.
OR
The hallmark of [disease name] is [finding]. A positive history of [finding 1] and [finding 2] is suggestive of [disease name]. The most common symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3]. Common symptoms of [disease] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3]. Less common symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3].
History and Symptoms
- The majority of patients with [disease name] are asymptomatic.
OR
- The hallmark of [disease name] is [finding]. A positive history of [finding 1] and [finding 2] is suggestive of [disease name]. The most common symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3].
- Symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3].
History
Patients with [disease name]] may have a positive history of:
- [History finding 1]
- [History finding 2]
- [History finding 3]
Common Symptoms
Common symptoms of adenocarcinoma of the lung include:[2]
- Dyspnea
- Hemoptysis
- Chronic coughing
- Wheezing
- Chest pain
- Abdominal pain
- Cachexia
- Fatigue
- Loss of appetite
- Dysphonia
Less Common Symptoms
Less common and late symptoms of adenocarcinoma of the lung include:[1]
- Lymphadenopathy
- Symptoms due to paraneoplastic syndromes:[1]
- Paraneoplastic syndrome is a group of symptoms that occurs when substances released by cancer cells affect the normal function of other organs or tissues.
- Small cell lung cancer causes paraneoplastic syndromes more often than non–small cell lung cancer.
- Paraneoplastic syndromes may present with adenocarcinoma of the lung include:
- Hypercalcemia (more commonly seen in squamous cell lung cancer)
- Weakness
- Lack of coordination
- Changes in mental function
- High blood pressure
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy
- Increased and sometimes painful growth of some bones, especially fingertips
- Finger clubbing
