Why we celebrate World Lung Cancer Day?

Lung cancer is one of the most dangerous types of cancer, since its initial phase is asymptomatic. It’s the leader in terms of mortality rate from cancer. The chance of recovery depends on when the patient contacted a doctor. The earlier, the higher. Unfortunately, most people learn about the disease in the advanced stage, which significantly complicates the treatment. Therefore, the World Lung Cancer Day encourages the population to undergo regular checks to detect the initial phase of the disease. It also supports and helps lung cancer patients overcome a difficult period of their lives.

What Do People Do?

On the World Lung Cancer Day, charity events are organized. People support each other and hold health counseling. The activity is aimed at informing the population about the causes, symptoms, and methods of cancer control. Such organizations as the European Respiratory Society (ERS) and the Forum of International Respiratory Societies (FIRS) provide significant support in fighting against lung cancer. You can visit their websites to raise your awareness about the disease: ERS – https://www.ersnet.org/ , FIRS – https://www.firsnet.org/.
