Today on World Lung Cancer Day, we honor the survivors, support the fighters, and remember those we’ve lost to lung cancer.

Lung cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths, taking nearly 1.6 million lives each year. While smoking remains the top risk factor, it’s important to know that around 15% of those diagnosed have never smoked.

By raising awareness, promoting early detection, and supporting ongoing research, we can bring hope, improve outcomes, and move closer to a future without lung cancer.
