World Lung Cancer Day 2023
On World Lung Cancer Day, Aug. 1, the Forum of International Respiratory Societies (FIRS) and its founding member, the American Thoracic Society, stress the importance of understanding lung cancer risk factors, as well as the importance of early detection through screening, and treatment.
“World Lung Cancer Day offers an opportunity to raise awareness for the staggering global impact of this cancer,” said ATS President M. Patricia Rivera, MD, ATSF. “With one in four cancer deaths attributed to lung cancer, promoting early detection through lung cancer screening is critical to reduce lung cancer deaths worldwide.”
