9Hoarseness
Sometimes, a considerable change in the voice might be indicative of lung cancer. When the cancerous cells spread to other parts around your lungs, especially the throat, they will cause inflammation and irritation. As a result, the nerve that is responsible for controlling your voice box or larynx would be negatively affected. This makes your voice sound raspier, hoarse, or deeper than usual. Thus, if you notice hoarseness in a few consecutive weeks, visit your healthcare provider immediately for an accurate diagnosis. [9]
