A chest X-ray can identify various signs of cancer, including:
- Lung Nodules or Masses: Small, round growths or larger masses that could indicate lung cancer. - Mediastinal Abnormalities: Changes in the area between the lungs, potentially indicating lymphoma or metastasis. - Pleural Effusion: Accumulation of fluid around the lungs, which can be associated with cancer. - Bone Lesions: Changes in the ribs or spine that might suggest the spread of cancer to the bones.
