Symptoms of lung cancer
- Wheezing or difficulty breathing
- A cough that doesn’t go away, or a change to an existing cough

- Coughing up blood-stained phlegm
- Pain in your chest, especially when you cough or breathe in
- Swelling around your face and neck

All these symptoms can be caused by conditions other than cancer, but it’s important to go to the GP and get any unusual changes checked.
Can I be screened for lung cancer?
Testing for lung cancer when you have no symptoms is called screening. Currently there is no national screening programme for lung cancer in Ireland, but the Irish Cancer Society is working to change that.
If you are worried or feel you may be at risk, talk to your GP.
Our Survivor Support programme we can match you with a volunteer who has gone through a similar experience.
