According to the American Lung Association, lung cancer has surpassed breast cancer to become the leading cause of cancer deaths in women. Smoking is one of the major causes of lung cancer in the United States, which is estimated to cause 90% of lung cancer cases.  Pollution, exposure to radon, asbestos, and other toxins, including second hand smoke are also known causes. There may be no lung cancer symptoms present when the disease first develops, which makes earlier diagnosis more difficult. And we’ve all heard about someone dying from this type of cancer after experiencing few or no symptoms.

Many times, patients are unsure when to seek medical care and what questions to even ask the doctor once they do seek care. Patients suspected of having lung cancer symptoms should undergo a thorough physical examination. According to various websites dedicated to lung cancer education, patients who are suspected of having lung cancer frequently experience symptoms like cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, chest pain, spitting up blood, loss of appetite, or weight loss.
