Home » Spreading Awareness, Fight Against Lung Cancer
India is the second largest consumer and third largest producer of tobacco in the world. Approximately 28.6% of the Indian population uses tobacco products (42.4% men and 14.2% women), accounting for an estimated 267 million tobacco users in the country (Global Adult Tobacco Survey-2. The impact of tobacco consumption on health and in particular for cancer in India is enormous.*
Lung cancer, identified as the second highest contributor to new cancer cases globally, presents a significant public health challenge, GLOBOCAN 2018 has estimated over 1·1 million new cancer cases and 0·78 million cancer deaths in India.
Kick the Habit Of Smoking: Quitting smoking remains the most effective measure to cut down the risk of lung cancer. Studies show significant health benefits for individuals who quit by age 50 or even earlier.
Cigarette smoking is the number one risk factor for lung cancer. Cigarette smoking is linked to about 80% to 90% of lung cancer deaths. Using other tobacco products such as cigars or pipes also increases the risk for lung cancer. Tobacco smoke is a toxic mix of more than 7,000 chemicals. Many are poisons. At least 70 are known to cause cancer in people or animals.

Cigarette smoking can cause cancer almost anywhere in the body. Cigarette smoking causes cancer of the mouth and throat, esophagus, stomach, colon, rectum, liver, pancreas, voicebox (larynx), lung, trachea, bronchus, kidney and renal pelvis, urinary bladder, and cervix, and causes acute myeloid leukemia.
People who quit smoking have a lower risk of lung cancer than if they had continued to smoke, but their risk is higher than the risk for people who never smoked. Quitting smoking at any age can lower the risk of lung cancer.
Adopt a Healthy Lifestyle: Beyond smoking cessation, maintaining a healthy body weight, and avoiding exposure to second/third-hand smoke, asbestos, and other cancer-causing chemicals are crucial preventive measures
People who smoke cigarettes are 15 to 30 times more likely to get lung cancer or die from lung cancer than people who do not smoke. Even smoking a few cigarettes a day or smoking occasionally increases the risk of lung cancer. The more years a person smokes and the more cigarettes smoked each day, the more risk goes up.***
Given that two-thirds of lung cancers are detected at an advanced stage, promoting early detection through regular screenings, including CT scans, biopsies, and routine check-ups, is vital for improving the survival rate
Screening Screening is an effective method to detect cancer at an early stage. While there are regular screening recommendations for breast and cervical cancer, it is not the same in case of lung cancer. Most countries or organisations have not framed any guidelines for lung cancer screening due to cost effectiveness and morbidity issues related to low-dose computed tomography (LDCT). Various methods have been tried like chest radiography, sputum cytology, however, low dose computer tomography has been shown to be an effective screening modality for lung cancer. ****
