Lung Cancer Prevention
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, making prevention a priority. Lung cancer prevention involves avoiding known risk factors, such as smoking and exposure to carcinogenic substances, and adopting a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet, regular exercise, and no exposure to secondhand smoke. Some research suggests that specific supplements, such as vitamins C and E and beta-carotene, may reduce the risk of lung cancer. Early detection can also improve a person's chances of surviving the disease. Screening tests, such as chest X-rays and sputum tests, may detect lung cancer in its early stages, when it is most treatable. Dietary and lifestyle changes, along with regular screening tests, are important steps in lung cancer prevention.
