Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- The prevalence of lung cancer is approximately 100 per 100,000 individuals in the United states. [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]
Incidence
- The age-adjusted incidence of lung cancer is approximately 58.7 per 100,000 individuals worldwide based on 2008-2012 cases.[3]
Age
- The incidence of lung cancer increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is 70 years.[3]
Gender
- Males are more commonly affected with lung cancer than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 1.5 to 1.[3]
Race
- Lung cancer usually affects individuals of the African American race. Asian and Hispanic individuals are less likely to develop lung cancer.[3]
