Today is set aside to raise awareness about the world’s second most common cancer, which is also one of the leading causes of cancer death in both men and women. The day’s major goal is to raise awareness about the behaviours and causes that can contribute to lung cancer.
Lung cancer, like any other cancer, has a proclivity for spreading throughout the body. Most people are aware that smoking is the single most important risk factor for lung cancer, additional factors that are less well-known include the environment and heredity. Lung cancer has been associated with radon, asbestos, arsenic, beryllium, and uranium exposure in the environment. A history of cancer in another part of the body, age, family history, radiation to the chest area, and lung illnesses like COPD all raise the risk of lung cancer.
