November marks Lung Cancer Awareness Month.
As an annual observance dedicated to increasing awareness about lung cancer, its risk factors, early detection, and treatment options, the month-long campaign aims to educate the public about the impacts of lung cancer on individuals and families.
Lung Cancer Awareness Month also aims to promote lung health, raise funds for research, and provide support to those affected by lung cancer.
Established to address the growing prevalence of lung cancer and to emphasise the importance of prevention and early detection, Lung Cancer Awareness Month was initiated by lung cancer advocacy organisations, healthcare providers, and individuals affected by the disease.
Over time, Lung Cancer Awareness Month has become a significant opportunity to educate communities about the risk factors for lung cancer, the importance of smoking cessation, and advancements in lung cancer research and treatment.
