Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
Does the presence of finger clubbing indicate a potential link to lung cancer, or are there other underlying conditions that could be responsible for this symptom?

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Finger clubbing is not solely indicative of lung cancer. It can also be associated with other conditions like idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, and bronchiectasis, among others. Further medical evaluation is necessary to determine the underlying cause of finger clubbing.
