Cancer Council WA educates on lung cancer symptoms and early detection during awareness month.

During Lung Cancer Awareness Month in November, the Cancer Council WA is educating South West residents about lung cancer symptoms and the importance of early detection. Lung cancer is the fourth most common cancer and leading cause of cancer death in WA. Symptoms include coughing up blood, chest pain, changes in cough, breathing difficulties, weight loss, and fatigue. While 80% of cases are linked to smoking, it can also affect non-smokers due to factors like occupational exposure and family history. The council urges residents to see a doctor if they experience any symptoms.
