Urgent need for regular medical examinations for early detection of lung cancer in Romania

A large part of the Romanian population postpones visits to the doctor and does not go for examinations or consultations, except when faced with serious symptoms that do not disappear after self-treatment at home. Regular health check-ups are extremely important for early detection of possible conditions as well as prevention of diseases through awareness and preventive actions.

Cancer is a silent disease, in most cases, symptoms appear already at an advanced stage, and the chances of recovery are significantly reduced. This is evidenced by alarming statistics 1 in 15 men in Romania are at risk of developing lung cancer before the age of 75, and 3 in 4 patients are diagnosed in late stages of the disease.

Bikers for Humanity: Lung Cancer Prevention Reporting Initiative

Given that this disease ranks first, both in the number of cases and in the number of deaths among men, an important initiative against lung cancer originates Bikers for humanity. These encourages men to get regular checkups and talk to their doctor about lung cancer risk factors and symptoms. The campaign not only promotes a message of awareness, but also of action, emphasizing that prevention and health monitoring are not signs of weakness, but on the contrary, they are expressions of courage and responsibility.

“We men need courage to act and change our lives. I believe that taking care of your health is not a sign of weakness, but an act of courage. This initiative is evidence that the community can achieve meaningful change. We are all involved in this fight, and we are determined to make a difference and inspire collective responsibility for our health,” he says. Christy Hrubaru, member of Bikers for Humanity.

A diagnosis of lung cancer is not fatal

Thanks to recent advances in the field of oncology, including the introduction of immunotherapy and targeted molecular therapy, there is a significant increase in the survival rate of patients with lung cancer.Early screening can save lives. Joining the information events, University Professor, Dr. Christian Julian Oancea emphasizes the importance of early detection: “As a pulmonologist, I see the devastating impact of lung cancer every day, especially when it is detected late. However, a diagnosis of lung cancer is not fatal. In the last decade scientific advances have been made in the treatment of lung cancer, resulting in more survivors and more hope for those facing the disease. Fighting this disease starts with awareness and education. Lung cancer, often silent and without obvious symptoms in the early stages, can be effectively treated if detected at an early stage. This makes regular examination not only important, but vital. Through screening initiatives and public awareness of risk factors and early symptoms, we can increase the chances of survival and successful treatment.“

Amazing progress in the treatment of lung cancer

“Immunotherapy represents a revolution in the field of oncology, opening the door to personalized and effective treatments in the fight against lung cancer. With each advance in immunotherapy research and development, we are seeing significant changes in how we fight this complex disease. It is a privilege to witness the amazing advances in immunotherapy and the positive impact it is having on the lives of our patients. “, he adds University Professor, Dr. Christian Julian Oancea.
