7Cancer
Some forms of cancer may cause you to cough up blood in phlegm. It might look like bloody saliva, but the blood does not actually stay in the saliva or your mouth. Cancers that would cause blood in the saliva include leukemia, throat cancer, mouth cancer, esophageal cancer, and lung cancer. Early diagnosis and treatments are the keys to improve the outlook of people with cancer. Depending on the type of cancer, affected organs, your overall health, the stage of cancer, and many other factors, your doctor will design a suitable treatment plan. In general, it will combine different options, including biological therapy, targeted drug therapy, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. [8]
