Lung cancer stigma refers to the negative attitudes, perceptions, and discrimination faced by individuals diagnosed with lung cancer. Despite advances in treatment and prevention, lung cancer is often associated with smoking and considered a self-inflicted disease. This stigma can lead to feelings of shame, guilt, and isolation among patients, impacting their quality of life, mental health, and access to care. Research in this area aims to understand the causes and consequences of lung cancer stigma, develop interventions to reduce stigma, and improve support for individuals affected by the disease.
