Abstract | Lung cancer is a major public health issue worldwide, and its early detection remains crucial for increasing
survival rates. However, rural women are often at a disadvantage when it comes to both awareness and access
to medical care for lung cancer. This paper explores the level of awareness regarding lung cancer and the
importance of early detection among rural women. We examine how lack of awareness, poor healthcare
infrastructure, and societal factors hinder early diagnosis. The study also emphasizes the role of education, selfconfidence,
and preventive action in improving health outcomes for rural women. Our findings highlight the
need for targeted interventions, community awareness programs, and policy measures to empower rural women
to take charge of their health and seek timely medical help. Ultimately, a multifaceted approach to awareness,
early detection, and empowerment can reduce lung cancer mortality rates in rural communities.
