What are the symptons for lung cancer


What are the symptons for lung cancer?
I've had an itchy throat for a while now(3 weeks) and it feels like its only on the left side of my throat, so its hard to clear it. I dont know if this has any connection to it but sometimes i have a minor bother in the bottom left of my rib cage. I work in construction, im 18, so, can it be lung cancer or something? or what?
