Common symptoms of lung cancer include difficulty breathing and persistent chest pain. But there is also the risk of developing a tumor if you have a prolonged coughing spell, according to the UK National Health Service.

Lung cancer is one of the most serious types of cancer because it is usually difficult to spot until it has spread to other parts of the body. A person may fear this disease if they develop a cough that does not go away, said the National Health Service of the United Kingdom, quoted in the Daily Express.
Symptoms of the disease tend to show up after the cancer has already spread to the lungs. One of the most common signs of this condition is a persistent cough that manages to keep a person awake at night.
According to these British specialists, one should beware when a cough does not pass after three weeks. A tumor can also be reported by shortness of breath, wheezing and chest pain, sputum or blood.
However, if a person has such symptoms, it does not mean that they have cancer, because other lung diseases have these same signs. In this case it is recommended to consult a doctor to determine the cause of the disease.
According to experts, the problem with lung cancer is that it begins to manifest actively when metastases spread to nearby organs. In this case, it is already much more difficult to fight against the tumor and the prognosis is less favorable.
