8Clubbing of Fingers
Finger clubbing is when there’s a noticeable change in the shape of your fingers and fingernails. It has been observed that a large portion of people suffering from non-small cell lung cancer start experiencing this symptom in the early stages. It’s a consequence of chronically low blood levels of oxygen, a symptom of lung cancer.
When finger clubbing is setting in, the nail beds first become soft and the skin next to them, shiny. This eventually leads to the fingernails curving more than normal and the ends of the fingers then become larger until they start bulging noticeably.
