Dr. Hanson explains some of the signs and symptoms of lung cancer, which include changes in cough, blood in sputum, weight change, or voice change.
David S. Hanson, MD, FACP: Let us talk for a minute about the signs and symptoms of lung cancer. Lung cancer is a very common illness and it is oftentimes seen in people who abuse cigarettes or other forms of tobacco.
So when a person has a new cough, blood in their sputum, unexplained weight loss, or changed in their voice, they need to inform the patient of this occurrence and the reason for that is, is that lung cancer is a very difficult disease to screen for.
Well, there may be data that certain patients can benefit from Annual CAT scan screening, the majority of patients will develop their cancer in between even a yearly screening and some new symptoms mandate an evaluation.
The other thing that is important to remember is that the symptoms may not seem to be related to your lungs. You may suddenly experience a lack of appetite, unexplained weight loss, new pain or swelling in an area that you do not associate with your chest.
So if you have a change in your physical health and are a smoker, in particular, you should seek an evaluation with a physician.

A Texas teenager missed the start of his 11th grade year after he mysteriously fell ill.
Dominic Lopez’s family told Eyewitness News he’s been in the hospital since last Tuesday. He could barely tell his mother what was wrong.
“It was just a regular day. Thankfully, I work at home. He had just taken a shower. Shortly after that, he came to me in the kitchen. He was complaining of chest pain. He was holding his chest. He couldn’t really talk. He was taking really small breaths,” said his mother, Muriel Lopez. “Once I saw that, that he couldn’t really breathe properly … I put him in the truck because I knew I could get to the hospital faster than the ambulance could get to me.”
Muriel Lopez said in the four-minute drive to the hospital, she watched her son turn pale. She said doctors discovered her son’s left lung fully collapsed and diagnosed him with spontaneous pneumothorax. According to medical experts, tall and thin males teens are most susceptible.
Doctors put a tube in Dominic’s chest. He underwent surgery on Sunday.

“To me, I think getting this out there is the main thing. I’ve never heard of spontaneous pneumothorax before this. I had no idea that a young male who is tall and thin is more prone to get this condition,” said Dominic’s mom. “I have never heard of it. I was terrified. If you ever have any symptoms regarding your heart, chest, or your breathing … get to the nearest ER immediately.”

Where do I get my information from: http://armandoh.org/resource
“Interstitial lung disease also known as diffuse parenchymal lung diseases (DPLDs) are a group of disorders based on similar clinical, radiographic, physiologic, and pathologic changes.
Present primarily with shortness of breath and a non productive cough usually chronic over weeks to months without response to initial treatment of puffers. If there is clinical suspicion of ILD a full pulmonary function test should be done. Characteristic changes of ILD include: reduced total lung capacity (TLC) and DLCO.
The diffuse parenchymal lung diseases are divided into those that are associated with known causes or unknown causes and other weird and wonderful rare causes.”
“Lung cancer does not mean an absence of hope.” Dr. David Tom Cooke, head of thoracic surgery at UC Davis Health, answers commonly asked questions about lung cancer, including symptoms, causes and treatment options for patients.

What are the Lung Apices? What is the apical portion of the lungs? This video covers the medical definition of this topic.
💥Respiratory System A&P [Full Guide] ➜ ➜ ➜ https://bit.ly/3i9IFC7
➡️ Lung Apices Definition
The lung apices are often referred to as the apical zone of the lungs or the lung apex. That is because, as the name suggests, this is the top or highest part of the lungs. In general, the upper lobes are overventilated compared to the lower lobes which tend to have more perfusion. This explains why the upper zones are primarily affected whenever there is a disease or condition that is related to inhalation.
➡️ Lung Apices Overview
Smoke inhalation predominately affects the upper lobes as well. In fact, cigarette smoking can lead to centrilobular emphysema which presents with upper lung lobe predominance. Diseases that cause impaired mucociliary clearance also affect the upper lobes and make it more difficult to remove secretions from the airways. Even in conditions such as pneumonia, you may notice consolidation on a chest radiograph in the upper lobes. While we have provided some useful tidbits on this topic, when it comes to the medical definition of the lung apices, the important thing to remember is that this is the upper portion of the lungs.
