Lung cancer can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or lifestyle. It is essential to understand the risk factors associated with lung cancer, including smoking, exposure to second-hand smoke, radon gas, and environmental pollutants. Early detection and timely treatment can significantly improve outcomes for individuals diagnosed with lung cancer.
