World Lung Cancer Day – Let’s Breathe Better, Together

Published by LifeOnPlus | August 1st | Health Awareness & Prevention

Every year on August 1st, the world comes together to recognize World Lung Cancer Day — a vital reminder of the need for awareness, early detection, and lifestyle changes that can save lives.

At LifeOnPlus, we believe in the power of preventive healthcare, and lung health is at the core of that vision.

Why World Lung Cancer Day Matters?
1. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths globally.
2. It affects both smokers and non-smokers.
3. Early-stage lung cancer often has no symptoms, which makes awareness and screening critical.
4. Most cases are diagnosed at advanced stages, reducing treatment success rates.

World Lung Cancer Day is not just about remembering lives lost — it’s about empowering the living to take control of their lung health.

Know the Symptoms
Lung cancer doesn’t always present obvious symptoms early. However, be alert to:
1. Persistent cough (especially if worsening)
2. Chest pain
3. Shortness of breath
4. Coughing up blood
5. Hoarseness
6. Sudden weight loss
7. Recurrent respiratory infections

If any of these persist, don’t ignore them. Seek early screening.

Risk Factors You Shouldn’t Ignore
1. Smoking (even second-hand)
2. Air pollution & industrial exposure
3. Family history of cancer
4. Indoor pollutants (such as cooking smoke or radon gas)
5. Past radiation therapy to the chest
