JAKARTA, AYOBANDUNG.COM – One symptom of lung cancer is back pain. Unfortunately these Cancer Symptoms usually appear when the cancer has spread in the lungs.
Reporting from Express, there are symptoms that are quite common in cancer sufferers, namely back pain. More than a quarter of lung cancer patients develop pain in the back. The possibility of back pain in patients occurs because the tumor compresses the spinal cord.
Therefore, back pain can be an early symptom of lung cancer.
“Most people only understand that lung cancer is characterized by a cough that lasts more than 3 weeks, shortness of breath or fatigue,” said Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation.
“Back pain is one of the things we often explain,” the foundation said.
According to the Roy Castle Foundation, there may be many reasons for feeling back pain. Because back pain can be caused by something else.
“However (back pain) can still be a sign of lung cancer. If you have symptoms, try to see a doctor as soon as possible,” the foundation said.
However, keep in mind that back pain is a common condition so it does not necessarily indicate lung cancer.
Other symptoms of lung cancer that you may need to pay attention to are a cough that doesn’t go away, hoarseness of the throat or shortness of breath.
You should talk to your doctor if you are worried about the signs or symptoms of lung cancer.
Lung cancer itself is most common in people who smoke, secondhand smoke, exposure to certain poisons and family history.
Treatments vary such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, drug therapy and immunotherapy.
