Little-known lung cancer symptom on your fingers and other signs of the disease

Subtle changes to your fingers could be a sign of lung cancer, according to experts.

Fingers that appear swollen or fatter could be a sign to watch out for, particularly if the ends of the fingers appear enlarged. Skin next to the fingernail may also become more shiny than usual and nails could begin to curve downwards like a spoon as opposed to being usually smooth.

Around 80% of people with clubbed fingers have lung cancer. Other less common symptoms include arm or shoulder pain, eye problems, balance issues and swelling of the neck, arms or upper chest.
