Learn and Share Ways to Lower Lung Cancer Risk
Lung cancer is the number one cause of cancer deaths among men and women in the United States. The work to change this is showing progress. Lung cancer rates are decreasing nationally, as fewer people use tobacco and as lung cancer treatments improve.
Finding lung cancer earlier and making better treatments available are helping more lung cancer survivors live longer.
November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month, a time to share information about lung cancer, learn how to lower your risk, and support survivors living with this disease.Cigarette smoking causes most cases of lung cancer, but people who don’t smoke may also be at risk. You can lower your risk of lung cancer by not smoking (or quitting if you do), staying away from secondhand smoke, and testing your home for radon.
