Lung cancer affects the respiratory system by first making a tumor. (Obviously, we know this.) After the tumor, the cancer begins spreading. It makes a person have shallow breathing, along with the color or volume of your sputum (or more commonly known as phlegm). Your lungs will become a weird blackish color. It will also cause a person to have frequent pains in your chest, near the sternum, along with shoulder pain and Back pain. You will also have harsh coughing fits. (I hope this is enough information! :D)
