How do I know if I have small cell carcinoma of the lung and what are the symptoms of small cell carcinoma of the lung?

Early small cell carcinoma of the lung does not have any symptoms. As the tumor grows larger, people may notice one or more of the following symptoms:

• Cough that does not go away

• Chest pain, often made worse by deep breathing, coughing, or laughing

• Hoarseness

• Weight loss and loss of appetite

• bloody sputum

• Shortness of breath

• Infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia that keep coming back

• New onset of wheezing

Other health problems may also cause these symptoms. Only a doctor can tell for sure. A person with any of these symptoms should tell the doctor so that the problems can be diagnosed and treated as early as possible.
