“Early Detection Saves Lives — Let’s Talk About It.”
Lung cancer is one of the most common and serious cancers affecting people worldwide. Unfortunately, due to lack of awareness and late diagnosis, many patients seek medical help at an advanced stage. To address this critical gap, Mai Mangeshkar Hospital, Warje, Pune, successfully organized a Lung Cancer Awareness and Guidance Session, aimed at educating the community about early detection, prevention, and treatment options.
Why Lung Cancer Awareness Is Crucial
Lung cancer cases are steadily increasing due to several factors such as:
Smoking and tobacco consumption
Air pollution
Genetic predisposition
Unhealthy lifestyle habits
Occupational exposure to harmful substances
Many early symptoms of lung cancer—such as persistent cough, breathlessness, chest pain, or unexplained weight loss—are often ignored. Early diagnosis plays a vital role in improving survival rates, and timely treatment can significantly save lives.
About the Awareness Session
With the theme “वेळीच निदान – जीवन वाचवते” (Early Diagnosis Saves Lives), the session focused on spreading correct information, clearing myths, and encouraging people to seek medical advice at the right time.
The program was designed as an interactive and informative session, making it easy for patients, caregivers, and the general public to understand lung cancer in simple language.
