Nations worldwide observe Lung Cancer Awareness Month from November 1st to 30th each year. Lung cancer is considered one of the most common types of cancer globally, accounting for an annual mortality rate higher than that of breast, colon, and prostate cancers combined.
The objectives of this month are to increase public awareness regarding lung cancer, reduce related mortality rates, and support research dedicated to finding effective treatments. Furthermore, the campaign focuses on educating individuals at high risk and raising awareness about the detrimental effects of smoking.
