Lung cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide, claiming 1.8 million lives annually. Early detection can save lives, yet many face barriers to timely diagnosis and equal treatment. This year’s theme urges us to break those barriers and ensure everyone has access to early screening and quality care—no matter their background.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀:
- Lung cancer often shows no early symptoms
- Smoking (active & passive) is the top risk factor
- Other risks: radiation, carcinogens, family history, age, obesity, and viral infections like HPV

𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀:
- Quit tobacco use and avoid second-hand smoke
- Limit exposure to harmful chemicals and radiation
- Maintain a healthy lifestyle: exercise, balanced diet
- Reduce risk of infections that may increase cancer risk

Let’s raise awareness, support research, and empower patients in the fight against lung cancer.

Frauen in Afghanistan dürfen laut Human Rights Watch keine Kurse an medizinischen Instituten mehr besuchen. Selbst neue Geburtsbegleiterinnen und Krankenschwestern soll es nicht mehr geben.
