World Lung Day: Understanding Its Importance in Raising Awareness About Lung Health and Fighting Respiratory Diseases | Health Live

In India, the incidence of lung cancer is on the rise, primarily due to factors such as smoking, passive smoking, family history, exposure to chemicals, air pollution, and genetics. The warning signs of lung cancer include persistent cough, chest pain, difficulty breathing, fatigue, wheezing, and trouble swallowing. Unfortunately, many patients tend to overlook these symptoms, suffering in silence until the condition worsens. This highlights the urgent need for proper awareness regarding lung cancer and its early detection. Increased education and outreach efforts are essential to encourage individuals to recognize these symptoms and seek medical attention promptly, ultimately improving treatment outcomes and survival rates for those affected by this serious disease.
