World Cancer Day: Raising Awareness and Promoting Prevention
Every year on February 4th, the world observes World Cancer Day to raise awareness about cancer and promote prevention, early detection, and treatment.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), lung cancer is one of the most common and deadly cancers globally, causing approximately 1.8 million deaths annually. (Source: WHO)

In Taiwan, the Ministry of Health and Welfare reported that in 2022, cancer-related deaths totaled 53,126, accounting for 25.8% of all deaths. The mortality rate was 227.6 per 100,000 people, reflecting a 2.2% increase from the previous year. Among the top ten cancer-related causes of death, tracheal, bronchial, and lung cancer ranked first. (Source: Ministry of Health and Welfare)

1. Major Risk Factors for Lung Cancer
The high incidence of lung cancer is closely linked to multiple risk factors:

  • Smoking: Smoking is the primary risk factor, with about 85% of lung cancer cases linked to smoking history.
  • Air Pollution: Poor indoor and outdoor air quality increases lung cancer risk.
  • Occupational Exposure: Long-term exposure to asbestos or certain chemicals significantly raises the risk.
  • Genetic Factors: Individuals with a family history of lung cancer are at higher risk.

Raising awareness about these factors is key to reducing lung cancer incidence.

2. Early Signs and Symptoms of Lung Cancer
Lung cancer may not show obvious symptoms in its early stages. As the disease progresses, symptoms may include:

  • Persistent Cough: Smokers should be especially cautious of changes in their cough patterns.
  • Chest Pain: Discomfort when taking deep breaths or coughing.
  • Shortness of Breath: Difficulty breathing or breathlessness during activity.
  • Unexplained Weight Loss: A sudden decrease in weight without any apparent reason.

If you experience these symptoms, seek medical attention promptly. Early diagnosis can significantly improve treatment outcomes.

3. Prevention and Early Screening
Effective lung cancer prevention strategies include:

  • Quitting Smoking: Stopping smoking is the most effective way to prevent lung cancer.
  • Improving Air Quality: Maintaining clean indoor air and reducing exposure to pollutants.
  • Regular Health Checkups: High-risk individuals should undergo low-dose CT scans for early detection.

Studies show that poor indoor air quality not only triggers allergies but also worsens respiratory conditions.
Headaches and breathing difficulties are common effects of air pollution, posing hidden health threats.
To improve indoor air quality, investing in a high-performance oxygen-enhancing air system is a wise choice.
These systems filter harmful pollutants and provide clean, oxygen-enriched air, reducing the risk of respiratory illnesses and ensuring a healthier living environment for your family.
