Lung Cancer Awareness Month – 1 November 2025

Lung Cancer Awareness Month, observed every November, is a time dedicated to raising awareness about lung cancer, its risk factors, and the importance of early detection. Lung cancer is one of the most common and deadliest forms of cancer worldwide, but early detection can significantly improve outcomes.

Why Lung Cancer Awareness Month is Important:

• Raise Awareness: Many people are unaware of the risk factors and symptoms of lung cancer. This month helps educate the public and dispel myths surrounding the disease.
• Encourage Screening: Lung cancer screening is recommended for those at high risk, such as smokers and former smokers. This awareness month encourages individuals to talk to their healthcare providers about screening options.
• Support Those Affected: Lung cancer can have a significant impact on patients and their families. This month provides support and resources for those affected by the disease.

How You Can Get Involved:

• Spread the Word: Share information about lung cancer on social media and in your community to raise awareness.
• Encourage Screening: If you or someone you know is at high risk for lung cancer, encourage them to talk to their healthcare provider about screening.
• Support Fundraising Efforts: Many organizations raise funds for lung cancer research and support programs during this month. Consider donating or participating in fundraising events.
• Share Stories: If you or a loved one has been affected by lung cancer, sharing your story can help inspire others and raise awareness.

Together, we can make a difference in the fight against lung cancer. Join us in raising awareness this Lung Cancer Awareness Month!
