Common respiratory symptoms observed in cancer patients include: - Cough: Persistent cough can be due to irritation of the airways by a tumor or treatment-related inflammation. - Dyspnea (Shortness of Breath): This can result from lung tumors, fluid accumulation in the lungs (pleural effusion), or anemia. - Wheezing: Indicates airway obstruction, which can be due to a tumor pressing on the airways. - Chest Pain: Can arise from tumor invasion into the chest wall or pleura.
