World Lung Cancer Day is celebrated on August 1st
World Lung Cancer Day is celebrated on August 1st . This date is intended to raise awareness about lung cancer, its causes, prevention, early diagnosis and treatment. Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide and is often associated with smoking, although it can also occur in non-smokers due to environmental and genetic factors. During this day, health organizations, medical institutions and support groups carry out awareness campaigns, offer screening services and promote information about lung cancer. The goal is to educate the public about the importance of early detection, healthy lifestyle and access to treatment to improve outcomes for patients. The date serves as a reminder of the importance of prevention and continued research to combat this devastating disease.
