New Delhi [India]:A lung capacity test was conducted on February 23 at NIFT, Delhi, by Onco, a renowned cancer care and treatment group, to increase public knowledge of lung cancer and its prevention. Numerous students attended the event to learn more about the significance of keeping healthy airways and to have their lung capacity assessed.
Lung Cancer
The main cause of cancer-related fatalities in India is lung cancer, one of the most prevalent cancers in the globe. One of the main reasons is exposure to cancer-causing substances, particularly those in cigarette smoke. Lung cancer risk is also raised by exposure to asbestos, ozone pollution, and some genetic abnormalities. Up to 80% of instances of lung cancer are still directly attributed to smoking.
The newer population in India, in particular, lacks knowledge about the illness and its causes.
Spirometry
Spirometry, an exam used at NIFT to measure lung capacity, was eagerly anticipated by students. The most typical breathing or pulmonary function exam measures how much oxygen a person can inhale and exhale from their lungs, as well as how rapidly and effortlessly they can do so. These non-painful evaluations are carried out repeatedly to ensure accuracy. The findings aid in identifying the precise reasons of poor lung function, persistent coughing, breathlessness, and noisy breathing.
150 Participants
A total of 150 pupils participated in the activity. People must be informed about the risks of lung cancer and the best methods to avoid it. This occasion is a great illustration of how cooperation between healthcare and educational groups can help spread knowledge about the illness and motivate people to adopt healthy lifestyle practices.
"I had a great time participating in the lung capacity test event conducted by onco cancer care. It was not only informative but also a fun experience to be a part of," mentioned Aman, one of the student participants who took part.
The event served as proof that learning can be enjoyable and that bringing attention to significant health problems can be done in an entertaining and participatory way. Everyone was drawn to the effort, and its effects were felt right away.
Since most cancers are already advanced when they are found, the therapy is generally terrible. Early discovery of cancer improves the likelihood that it will be managed and will not advance. Onco has organized numerous events both internally and online to raise consciousness of early detection in view of the recent upward trend in cancer cases.
"Lung cancer is among the top 3 most common cancers in India and unfortunately it gets diagnosed at later stages in our country which severely impacts treatment outcomes. Our hope from events like these is that we sensitize more youth in our country about lung cancer and encourage them to take measures to improve their health," highlighted Rashie Jain, co-founder, and CEO at Onco.
