Lung Cancer Prevention Week

Lung cancer is one of the most common and dangerous cancers, which kills millions of people worldwide every year. The main cause of the development of this disease is smoking, but do not forget about other risk factors such as air pollution, heredity and exposure to harmful substances. Lung Cancer Prevention Week is held to raise awareness about the disease, its early detection and the need for prevention. The doctors of the sanatorium "Krasivo" are joining the infocampany.

Lung cancer risk factors can be divided into two categories – internal and external. The first includes a hereditary history: if one of the relatives had cancer, then this person has an increased risk of developing this disease. 

All other factors are external. This is work related to harmful chemical and diesel fumes, asbestos, arsenic, etc. Work in rooms with high dust content, with an increased amount of radon. 

Recommendation to patients: be attentive to their health, follow the doctor's recommendations, and do not ignore the annual medical check-up. Take care of yourself!
