The symptoms of lung cancer
Lung cancer often remains under the radar for a long time, because in the early stages it gives no or vague symptoms, such as fatigue or coughing. The diagnosis is usually only made in an advanced stage, but then there is little chance of recovery and in fact one can only do symptom control. Lung cancer is therefore the deadliest form of cancer in Belgium.
