What are the common symptoms of lung cancer?

Lung cancer symptoms do not usually appear until the disease has reached an advanced stage. Common symptoms include shortness of breath, a persistent cough or wheeze, chest pain, bloody sputum, unexplained weight loss, and susceptibility to lower respiratory infections. Visible lumps, jaundice, or bone pain may occur in cases where cancer has spread beyond the lungs.
