Symptoms that suggest lung cancer include:[1]
- Dyspnea
- Hemoptysis
- Chronic coughing

- Chest pain
- Abdominal pain
- Cachexia
- Fatigue
- Loss of appetite
- Dysphonia
- Dysphagia
Paraneoplastic Syndromes[2]
- 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 most often seen with adenocarcinoma of the lung include:
-
- Hypercalcemia is a condition in which the amount of calcium in the blood is higher than normal.
- Signs and symptoms include:
- Weakness
- Lack of coordination
- Changes in mental function
- High blood pressure
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Signs and symptoms include:
- Increased and sometimes painful growth of some bones, especially fingertips
- Finger clubbing
