Lungkollen questionnaire is not a diagnostic tool and does not replace a medical opinion from a doctor, but aims to increase awareness of lung diseases, including lung cancer. Many lung diseases often cause vague symptoms in the beginning. Unfortunately, this is also typical for lung cancer. If you have symptoms that make you worried, or if you need advice, you should seek medical care. The content of the web test has been developed in collaboration with Michael Bergqvist, adjunct professor, chief physician in oncology and Per Rönmark, specialist in general medicine.

Do you have a persistent, new or changed cough?

Cough is common and can be due to many different things. Cough is a protective reflex and starts if something irritates the mucous membranes of the airways. A cough that changes character and becomes increasingly irritating or that is experienced as a "prolonged cold" should always be examined by a doctor.
Yes
No

Do you experience increased mucus production from the airways?

If you experience increased mucus production, this may be due to you staying in dry and dusty rooms, but it may also be due to respiratory infections. It is a good idea to contact your healthcare provider and ask for an examination to clarify the cause.
Yes
No

Do you experience wheezing?

A wheezing sound usually occurs when the trachea contracts and the airflow is restricted. It can be due to asthma, COPD or respiratory infections. It can also be due to other heart or lung diseases. If you experience this symptom, you should contact your healthcare provider for further investigation.
Yes
No

Do you often get respiratory infections or have not recovered completely after a respiratory infection?

If you have repeated / long-term respiratory problems, you should contact healthcare. Seek medical advice immediately if you have trouble breathing, have a high fever and if your general condition worsens. If you have recurrent infections, this may indicate other lung diseases and should be investigated further, possibly at a lung clinic.
Yes
No

Do you become short of breath more easily?

Many people believe that shortness of breath is often due to poor fitness or overweight. However, if you become short of breath during light physical exertion or at rest, it may indicate heart or lung disease and you should promptly contact your healthcare provider.
Yes
No

Are you presently being exposed, or have you previously been exposed to dust, gases, radon or asbestos?

Inhalation of dust, gases, radon or asbestos poses a health risk. Our airways have protective mechanisms, but with prolonged exposure, these mechanisms may be insufficient.
Yes
No

Do you smoke or have you smoked before?

Tobacco smoking increases the risk of several diseases, including most cancers, cardiovascular disease, diabetes as well as diseases and infections of the respiratory system. Quitting smoking always provides health benefits and is always good. Your healthcare provider can offer support and help to you who want to quit smoking. If you already have quit smoking - congratulations! You have done something great for your health. Continue to be smoke-free.
Yes
No

Do you cough up blood from the airways?

If you cough up blood, it may be due to an inflammation or an infection in the lung tree, but this symptom can also be explained by other factors, possibly caused by cancer that must be ruled out through examinations performed by your healthcare provider.
Yes
No

Do you have persistent pain in your chest or between the shoulder blades, or do you experience involuntary weight loss?

You are advised to contact your healthcare provider for an investigation. The causes may vary and include everything from thyroid disorders to heart-lung disease, but cancer is also a diagnosis that must be ruled out.
Yes
No
