Abstract: Lung cancer is a big threat to health in the world but many people are still unaware of this fact. The American cancer society has classified lung cancer as the most deadly cancer in both men and women in the world. This study was thus implemented with the objective to assess the knowledge of the inhabitants of Ngeme on lung cancer, its predisposing factors, and its prevention and find out the reason for exposure to some of the risk factors. This study wasa non-experimental quantitative study design and using a convenient sampling method, 40 respondents were included in the study. Data was collected from the above participants using structured questionnaires. The study revealed that most of the respondents were able to define lung cancer but had limited knowledge on the risk factors, signs and symptoms and preventions of lung cancer. Also some of the participants despite knowing the risk factors yet chose to ignore them. We thus recommend that health institutions should carry out a mass health campaign on lung cancer to create awareness on the disease in the community. The population should be informed on the dangers of some of the risk factors and measures found to avoid them as much as possible.Abstract: Lung cancer is a big threat to health in the world but many people are still unaware of this fact.
