In a country where smoking is a way of socialisation and air pollution is rife, it is no surprise that the prevalence of lung cancer is higher than the global average. However, a large number of lung cancer patients in India are non-smokers. Having wrong notions about the disease, its reasons and depending on unscientific explanations can lead to delay in diagnosis and hinder treatment decisions.
IHW Council and AstraZeneca bring an exclusive Cancer Care Series “New Normal, Same Cancer” to help dispel myths and encourage people to seek medical advice and support when it comes to Lung Cancer.
