“Lung Cancer: Know the Risks, Take Action.
Did you know? Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, claiming over 1 million lives each year. Most cases are diagnosed late, but you can take steps to reduce your risk and stay safe.
Key Facts About Lung Cancer:
Smoking is the leading cause, but non-smokers are also at risk due to air pollution, exposure to harmful chemicals, and secondhand smoke.
Symptoms like persistent coughing, chest pain, or shortness of breath often appear late, making early detection crucial.
How to Protect Yourself:
- Avoid Smoking: If you smoke, seek support to quit. Avoid exposure to secondhand smoke.
- Maintain Clean Air: Limit exposure to polluted air and harmful chemicals in your environment.
- Healthy Lifestyle: Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly, and avoid harmful habits.
- Regular Health Check-Ups: Early detection saves lives—talk to your doctor if you’re at risk or notice unusual symptoms.
