Lung Cancer Symptoms Have Not Changed
Despite technologic advances, the presenting symptoms of lung cancer (LC) have not changed over time, according to a new study. In order to update information on the modern presentation of LC, researchers from the Cleveland Clinic Health System and Cleveland Clinic Foundation conducted a retrospective chart review of 228 patients who presented with lung cancer within the two years prior to the study. Common symptoms on presentation included cough, dyspnea, weight loss, and chest pain. Of the total population, 14.6 percent (42) of patients were asymptomatic and 48 percent (144) had COPD on presentation. Asymptomatic patients were found more likely to have had previous cancer, but less likely to have COPD, when compared with symptomatic patients. Patients without COPD had a lower incidence of cough and dyspnea, than did patients with COPD. Researchers conclude that the presenting features of LC have not changed with the advances in imaging technology. Lung Cancer Symptoms Have Not Changed

为了更新现在肺癌的表现，来自克兰夫临床卫生机构和临床基金会的研究者对过去2年内患肺癌的228名患者进行了回顾性的调查。
Common symptoms on presentation included cough, dyspnea, weight loss, and chest pain.
他们共同的症状包括咳嗽、呼吸困难、体重减轻和胸痛。
Of the total population, 14.6 percent (42) of patients were asymptomatic and 48 percent (144) had COPD on presentation.
在这些患者中，14.6％为无症状患者，而48％的患者以慢性阻塞性肺病为主要表现。
Asymptomatic patients were found more likely to have had previous cancer, but less likely to have COPD, when compared with symptomatic patients.
与有症状的患者相比较，无症状患者可能更容易患肺癌，但不易患慢性阻塞性肺病。
Patients without COPD had a lower incidence of cough and dyspnea, than did patients with COPD.
与患有慢性阻塞性肺病的患者相比较，未患有慢性阻塞性肺病的患者发生咳嗽和呼吸困难的发病率是比较低的。
