Q: could coughing up yellow sputum with a tiny bit of blood that goes away entirely after, be a sign of lung cancer?

: Well, it depends on how long it has been happening and what other symptoms you have going on. I would advise you to see a physician so that they can get your entire history and see if any testing is needed to evaluate further.
