Early lung tumors may present with symptoms of emaciation, usually accompanied by coughing, chest pain, bloody sputum, difficulty breathing, and fatigue. The early symptoms of lung tumors are mainly caused by factors such as tumor compression, metabolic abnormalities, immune response, endocrine disorders, and nutrient depletion.
proliferation of tumor cells can accelerate the body's energy consumption and significantly increase the basal metabolic rate. The release of substances such as tumor necrosis factor can interfere with normal metabolic processes, leading to accelerated muscle breakdown. This abnormal metabolic state can cause sustained weight loss.
