Chest xray is pretty good, CT scan of the thorax is better.

go for the chest xray first. thats the primary one.

Sadly, lung cancer rarely produces symptoms until it is in it's fourth (metastatic) stage. If you believe you may have lung cancer, please go to your doctor and get a chest xray done as soon as possible- because lung cancer does have such a low five year survival rate, it is very important to get diagnosed or rule it out asap.
