===|| HOME || CAUSE || EFFECTS || TREATMENT|| PREVENTION || CHOICE || NOTES || MLA ||=== Having lung cancer negatively affects the body in many ways. Most of the ways depend on how far the cancer has progressed, and where the cancerous cells are.

Lung cancer that hasn't moved yet will cause coughing up blood, difficulty breathing, hoarse voice, among other symptoms.

If the lung cancer is metastatic (meaning the cancer has moved to other parts of the body), and it is in the other organs, it will have symptoms depending on where it is: Metastatis lung cancer in the brain causes: blurry vision, weakness on one side of the body, and seizures Metastatis lung cancer in the bones causes: bone pains

The other symptoms that are commonly thought to be related to cancer, such as becoming bald, are actually caused by the chemicals used in chemotherapy, one of the ways to cure cancer.
