7. Respiratory symptoms
Cancer cells can enter the lung tissue, causing inflammation and damage when the tumor spreads to distant tissues. Common symptoms include shortness of breath, wheezing, chest pain, coughing blood, and difficulty breathing. Other symptoms may include recurrent bronchitis, pneumonia, fatigue, and weight loss.
The severity of the respiratory symptoms can vary depending on the size, location, and type of the tumor. It is important to note that some bone cancers can spread to the lungs without noticeable symptoms. Therefore, it is crucial to be aware of the other signs and symptoms of bone cancer and to seek medical treatment if any of them become apparent.
