Abstract

Lung cancer prevention is a must in an effort to reduce the burden of disease caused by this condition in society. Lung cancer is one of the most deadly cancers and is often associated with smoking behavior and exposure to hazardous environments. This community service aims to increase public understanding of lung cancer, recognize risk factors, early symptoms, and the importance of regular check-ups. In addition, another goal is to provide information about a healthy lifestyle that can reduce the risk of developing lung cancer. The method used in this community service is to provide direct education to the community about lung cancer. This community service activity will be carried out by Kuanheun Village, Kupang Regency in June 2024. The target of this activity is the Kuanheun Village community with a target of 10 people. The results of this community service activity, most of the pre-test scores were less than 5 (50%) while the post-test scores were mostly in the good category of 6 (60%). Conclusion. Education activities and early detection of lung cancer are important and are proposed as a priority program as an effort to control the high prevalence of cases in the community.
