Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death in the US, accounting for about 125,070 deaths in 2024. This year, approximately 234,580 new cases of lung cancer are expected to be diagnosed. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) makes up about 80-85% of these cases, while small cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for 10-15%.
Risk factors include smoking, secondhand smoke, exposure to radon and asbestos, and certain workplace chemicals. Quitting smoking and early detection are crucial steps to reduce the risk and improve outcomes.
Together, we can promote awareness, encourage early detection, and support ongoing research. Let’s work towards a future where lung cancer no longer poses a threat to our loved ones.
