Lung cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the lung tissues, primarily in the cells lining the airways. It occurs when abnormal lung cells grow uncontrollably, leading to severe health complications. According to the WHO (2022), lung cancer is the most common type of cancer globally, with approximately 2.5 million new cases, representing 12.4% of the total 20 million new cancer cases worldwide. This study emphasizes the importance of increasing public awareness of lung cancer, its risk factors, symptoms, and preventive actions. Health campaigns and early detection programs play a crucial role in reducing lung cancer prevalence. By adopting a smoke-free lifestyle and taking proactive health measures, individuals and communities can contribute to lowering lung cancer cases and improving global health outcomes.
