recently Lung cancer in women has been a rising problem. This is about a study that tackled this issue, focusing on the time frame from 1990 to 2021 and looked at a huge database. It started with a map of trends and future predictions, highlighting how these numbers are going up. The number of people getting lung cancer, the number of women already having it and the number of women dying from it, are all increasing. What makes this even more concerning is that this is notjust a local problem but a global one, eating up our society's resources. It might seem that we are helpless. This is because every country has a unique battlefield. Some countries have battled this openly and well. But in other countries, it is a hidden battle due to social taboos, stigma, and denial. It is a very complex topic.
The challenge for women is multiplied by the fact that lung cancer can be caused by both smoking and never smoking. So, even if you don't smoke, you can get lung cancer. There are countless underlying causes behind this. Some causes are obscure and unknown. Others are obvious. These are badly needed to decrease the trend of women having lung cancer.
Lung cancer in women is a major concern. This poses a significant problem for families and societies worldwide.
So, now is the time for policies to protect women from lung cancer. Women need to be educated about dangers of smoking and smoky air and second hand smoke. Women need to be screened for lung cancer. Especially since women tend to get a type of lung cancer that can be suppressed by standard treatments. We need to do this.
Even though it is hard to explore and study, there are some factors that put women at risk for cancer. Exposure to air pollution is also a reason.
On the other hand, lung cancer is not just a problem for women, but for everybody. this is especially true for those who are around women with lung cancer.
There are some facts that should not be ignored. This is true even if there are up to date, but even if there is no clear and correct solution.
There is a ray of hope. Researchers can study the problem. People can work together to fight lung cancer worldwide.
