 Early vs. Late Symptoms  

Early signs, such as a chronic cough, are often mistaken for respiratory infections or attributed to smoking. However, late-stage symptoms, like persistent chest pain, blood in sputum, and severe fatigue, indicate advanced progression. Metastasis typically affects lymph nodes, brain, bones, and liver.

 Lung Cancer Risk Factors  

- Smoking: The leading cause of lung cancer, affecting both smokers and those exposed to secondhand smoke.

- Air Pollution: Fine particulate matter in polluted air can damage lung health, particularly in those with weaker immune systems.

- Asbestos Exposure: Common in construction work, asbestos is a known carcinogen that can increase lung cancer risk.

- Chemical Exposure: Arsenic, beryllium, and other industrial chemicals are linked to higher lung cancer risk.

- Radiation Exposure: Exposure to radon, especially in enclosed spaces, can elevate the risk.

- Personal & Family History: A family history of cancer or a personal history of other cancers can increase susceptibility.

 Lung Cancer Prevention  

- Avoid Smoking: Both smoking and secondhand smoke increase lung cancer risk.

- Reduce Exposure to Environmental Hazards: Limit exposure to carcinogenic chemicals, asbestos, and radon.

- Follow a Balanced Diet: Vitamins A, C, and E, selenium, and carotenoids support lung health.

- Practice Regular Yoga and Pranayama: Respiratory exercises improve lung function and overall well-being.

- Maintain Emotional Wellness: Adequate sleep, meditation, and a balanced lifestyle can support immune health.

 Importance of Early Detection and Screening  

Early detection is essential to lung cancer survival rates. When diagnosed early, treatment is generally more effective and allows for a quicker recovery with fewer side effects. Timely screening enables patients to live with a better quality of life, improving their chances of leading a normal life post-treatment.
