Lung cancer
In the United States, lung cancer is the leading cause when it comes to cancer deaths, and part of this is because the early symptoms are so subtle.
Like with many, the earlier it gets diagnosed, the better the possible outcomes and vaster the treatment options.
The reason why lung cancer is so dangerous outside of the silent initial symptoms is because it can easily spread to other parts of the body.
This is also why the treatment options are so varied depending on how far the cancer has spread and the stage they have reached.
It can happen that early-stage lung cancer does not cause any symptoms. Likewise, when they start to manifest, it can be that they are unexpected, especially when it comes to the lungs.
Indeed, one of the symptoms is shortness of breath, but back pain can occasionally accompany it.
The reason why back pain is named as a frequent symptom is because it occurs when there are tumors in your lungs that cause pressure in your lungs, causing the pain, or it can be a sign that the cancer has spread to the ribs and spinal cord.
