Visakhapatnam: VSP Darpan news :This November” November marks Lung Cancer Awareness Month, a time to spotlight one of the deadliest yet most preventable cancers worldwide. Medicover Hospitals is drawing attention to the alarming rise of lung cancer cases in India — not only among smokers but increasingly among non-smokers exposed to air pollution and environmental toxins. Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. In India, more than 70% of cases are diagnosed at an advanced stage, primarily due to late recognition of early symptoms such as chronic cough, unexplained weight loss, or shortness of breath. “Early detection is the key,” stresses Dr. Ramavath Dev, Senior Consultant Medical Oncologist, Medicover Hospitals. “Low-dose CT scans and timely evaluation of persistent respiratory symptoms can lead to early diagnosis, better treatment outcomes, and longer survival.” Medicover’s oncology experts highlight the growing impact of urban air pollution, occupational exposures, and tobacco use on lung health. The hospital advocates for preventive screenings, smoking cessation, and awareness on air quality, which can drastically reduce the risk of lung cancer. Through its advanced diagnostics, multidisciplinary oncology teams, and evidence-based cancer care, Medicover reinforces its commitment to fighting lung cancer with compassion and precision. “Protecting your lungs means protecting your life — this November, let’s take that pledge together,” says the hospital statement.
