Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Due to its nature—often developing without early symptoms—survival rates vary significantly depending on the stage at diagnosis. This makes regular screening and prevention efforts absolutely critical.
However, many people still lack awareness of the seriousness of lung cancer or overlook the importance of early detection. In response, August 1 was designated as World Lung Cancer Day—a global health initiative aimed at raising awareness and supporting patients worldwide through campaigns led by organizations such as the Forum of International Respiratory Societies (FIRS), the American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST), and the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC).

 

Why Was World Lung Cancer Day Established?

World Lung Cancer Day is a globally recognized health initiative co-established by key organizations in respiratory and oncology fields. Its purpose includes:
1. Raising Awareness
Lung cancer is caused not only by smoking, but also by environmental and genetic factors. In many cases, early symptoms are vague or nonexistent.
World Lung Cancer Day helps educate the public on the severity of lung cancer and why early diagnosis is essential to improving outcomes.

2. Supporting Patients and Their Families
This day aims to empower individuals battling lung cancer by offering hope, encouragement, and a reminder that they are not alone. It also emphasizes the importance of practical and emotional support throughout treatment and recovery.

3. Promoting Prevention and Early Screening
The day highlights the dangers of tobacco use, encourages smoking cessation, and stresses the value of routine screenings—especially among high-risk groups. The importance of early, technology-driven diagnosis is also increasingly emphasized.

 

The Impact of Early Detection on Lung Cancer Survival

Lung cancer survival rates differ greatly depending on how early the cancer is diagnosed:
  • Stage I: ~60–70% five-year survival rate
  • Stage IV: <10% five-year survival rate
Because the gap is so significant, low-dose CT (LDCT) screening is highly recommended for individuals at high risk.

 

Transforming Lung Cancer Detection with AI

Medical institutions worldwide are turning to AI-based diagnostic solutions to enhance early detection.
Applying AI to LDCT images brings several advantages:
  • Improved accuracy: Enhanced detection of small nodules and early lesions
  • Time efficiency: AI can rapidly analyze high volumes of image data
  • Clinical support: Visualization tools assist physicians with interpretation and decision-making
Coreline Soft offers globally validated AI lung cancer screening solutions that support clinicians in achieving faster, more accurate diagnoses.

 

Are You in a High-Risk Group? It's Time to Get Screened

If you meet any of the following conditions, you may be at high risk for lung cancer:
  • Smoked one pack per day for 20+ years
  • Over 50 years old with a smoking history
  • Family history of lung cancer
  • Long-term exposure to asbestos, radon, or harmful chemicals
LDCT screening, when combined with AI interpretation, increases the likelihood of detecting lung cancer at a treatable stage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q. When is World Lung Cancer Day?
A. Every year on August 1.

Q. Is lung cancer the leading cause of cancer deaths?
A. Yes. Lung cancer causes more deaths globally than any other cancer.

Q. Who is considered high-risk for lung cancer?
A. Long-term smokers, older adults, those with a family history of lung cancer, and people exposed to hazardous substances.

Q. What are early symptoms of lung cancer?
A. Often none, but signs can include a persistent cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, and unexplained weight loss.

Q. Can AI detect lung cancer early?
A. Yes. AI can assist in identifying subtle nodules and early-stage disease on LDCT scans with high accuracy.
