Lung Cancer Awareness


Lung cancer is the biggest cancer killer in both men and women. Every year, about 200,000 people are diagnosed and 150,000 people die. Cigarette smoking is the number 1 cause of lung cancer. It is linked to 80 to 90 percent of all lung cancers. Quitting smoking at any age can lower the risk of lung cancer.
November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death and the second most common cancer among both men and women in the United States.
You can help lower your risk of lung cancer in the following ways—
  • Don’t smoke. For help quitting, visit smokefree.gov.
  • Avoid secondhand smoke (smoke from other people’s cigarettes, pipes, or cigars).
  • Get your home tested for radon, a naturally occurring gas that can cause lung cancer.
Spread the word with our new resources, many in Spanish as well as English.
  • Infographics
  • Shareable graphics for your Web site, social network profile, or blog
  • A matte article (PDF-69KB) ready to print in a newspaper or on the Web, featuring the personal story of a lung cancer survivor
  • A lung cancer feature than can be syndicated (placed for free) on your Web site
  • A podcast featuring a non-smoking lung cancer survivor
  • Medscape Expert Commentary (video) featuring Dr. Lisa Richardson, Director of CDC’s Division of Cancer Prevention and Control, on lung cancer screening guidelines (link requires free registration)
