Lung Cancer Awareness Month: 1 November

Lung Cancer Awareness Month

November is observed as Lung Cancer Awareness Month, dedicated to spreading knowledge, encouraging early detection, and supporting those affected by the disease. Lung cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide, often diagnosed in its later stages due to lack of awareness. The month focuses on educating people about the importance of early screening, avoiding tobacco, and adopting a healthy lifestyle to reduce risk. Awareness campaigns, health camps, and survivor stories aim to inspire hope and emphasize that early diagnosis can save lives. The symbol of this awareness is the white ribbon, representing unity, support, and the fight against lung cancer.
