Smoking And Lung Cancer : Stop The Guilt!:

Lung cancer is the deadliest cancer in the world, in both men and women ... 
So why do we talk so little that particularly devastating cancer? Because it is primarily a disease of smoking? This is not a reason: "Nobody in the world deserves lung cancer." You are a smoker or smoker, check out early at the first sign, without the guilt!

To better screening for lung cancer 

To improve the outcome of patients with lung cancer and their families, four objectives were defined: 

-promote public awareness of lung cancer, 
-inform at-risk patients about symptoms and early signs of lung cancer, 
-indicate the sources of information and help, 
-develop lung cancer with health authorities. 


Each year, ten million new cases of lung cancer are diagnosed worldwide. The main risk factor is smoking. Therefore, this cancer has long conveyed a negative image associated with guilt patient does not favor public investment.

The diagnosis of lung cancer is very late 

The diagnosis of lung cancer is too late, that is to say, it occurs when the cancer has already reached an advanced stage. 


Thus the survival rate is low, while there are few therapeutic alternatives. Indeed, investment in research or management has long been lower than that involved in other cancers and other incurable diseases. Health authorities and governments should allocate more public funds to tackle this disease, ensure earlier diagnosis, a better future for patients and a better quality of appropriate care. And of course, the improvement of public knowledge could lead to early diagnosis and save lives.
