Lung cancer does not usually present any symptoms until it has spread to neighboring tissues or organs. When the lung cancer has metastasized, the following symptoms are usually experienced:

  • Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes)

  • Dizziness

  • Seizures

  • Feeling weak in the arms and/or legs

    Bone pain

  • Masses or lumps develop near the skin on other parts of the body (caused by cancer spreading to lymph nodes, or skin)


Please keep in mind that these symptoms are also symptoms for many other illnesses. Please see your physician if you are experiencing anything that is abnormal for you, mentally or physically.
