Early detection can go a long way in helping to manage and treat conditions like lung disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung cancer — the leading cancer killer of men and women in the U.S. Among the more concerning symptoms is coughing up blood. "The most common pulmonary reason for this symptom is bronchitis due to infection. However, the most life-threatening reason for coughing up blood is lung cancer. And this can also be seen in pulmonary embolism," explains Ken Knox, MD, a pulmonary medicine specialist, associate dean of Faculty Affairs and Career Development and interim division chief of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine at the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix.
