Brief Answer:
in early stage ,lung cancer can cause dry cough.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Lung cancer starts as slow growing nodule.
This is early stage of lung cancer.
And in this stage patient can have dry cough.
Once nodule is more than 2cm size it is known as mass and after this patient can have cough with expectoration, hemoptysis (blood in sputum), chest pain, breathlessness etc.
So please let me know if you have undergone chest x ray or not. Chest x ray is use for screening purpose in lung cancer.
I will be happy to help you further.
