Lung Cancer Awareness Month 2024 Home
Lung cancer is the most common cancer type and the most common cause of cancer death in the world. The most recent global estimates from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) indicate that in 2022 almost 2.5 million people were diagnosed with lung cancer and more than 1.8 million people died from the disease. Lung cancer causes more than twice as many deaths as colorectal cancer, which is the second most common cause of cancer death.
