Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- The age-adjusted prevalence of lung cancer is approximately 58.7 per 100,000 individuals worldwide based on 2008-2012 cases.[1]
- The most common type of lung cancer is non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). About 85%–90% of all lung cancers are non–small cell lung cancer. The other 10%–15% are small cell lung cancer.[2]
