Cough: New onset of a cough is the most common symptom of lung cancer but it is so nonspecific that as a symptom it is not very helpful in diagnosing lung cancer.

Weight loss: Smokers are the folks who most often get lung cancer and they often have a cough already. People diagnosed with lung cancer leading to death often realize after the diagnosis that they had been losing weight for a few weeks or months.
