A member asked:
Can cyanosis be caused by lung cancer? if so, how?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cyanosis: Hello. Cyanosis is a physical sign that is characterized by a bluish/purplish coloration of skin or mucous membranes, that is caused because of a low oxygen saturation. So yes, it can be caused by lung cancer, but there are a lot of other pathologies (mainly hearth and lung diseases) that can cause that sign.
