A member asked:
When lung cancer causes a chest ache is it usually persistent or intermittent ache?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chest pain not: Usual lung cancer finding. Cancer related pain moves in and doesn't go away. Pain when one beathes in and out is called 'pleuritic pain' - many associated causes, cancer lower on the list.
