• National Lung Cancer Awareness Month
Lung cancer kills more women every year than any other cancer.
The American Cancer Society estimates that more than 79,000 women in the United States will die from lung cancer, which is more than the number of women who will die from breast, ovarian, and uterine cancers combined. Cigarette smoking is the primary cause of lung cancer, and approximately 22 million women in the United States smoke.
