Serious Warning Signs And Symptoms Of Lung Cancer

Weight Loss

By the time lung cancer is diagnosed, more than sixty percent of patients lose a significant amount of weight. As such, if an individual has not made discernable lifestyle changes recently, yet they are rapidly losing weight, it may be a sign of lung cancer. It is also important to remember lung cancer can dramatically reduce one's appetite, and can thus mean a patient is not consuming the necessary calories, hence the weight loss. However, patients may not be consciously aware they are not consuming sufficient calories. If an individual cannot explain a sudden drop in weight, they should be sure to speak to a doctor to rule out lung cancer or other serious ailments.
