Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung is a rare lung malignancy with aggressive characteristics. There is no sufficient information on the incidence rate of sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung.
Prevalence
- The prevalence of sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung is approximately 0.4 cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide.[1]
- Sarcomatoid carcinoma comprises of 0.3% to 1.3% of total lung malignancies.[2]
- The overall prevalence of sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung is 0.1% to 0.4% of all non-small cell lung malignancies.[3]
Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate
- The 3-year and 5-year survival rates for patients with sarcomatoid cancer of lung are 35.8 and 28.7%.[4].
Age
- Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung is more commonly diagnosed among patients aged 65 to 75 years old.[5]
- Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung is more commonly observed among elderly patients and adults.
- Biphasic blastoma subtype is an exception with average age of 35 years old patients being more commonly diagnosed.
Race
- There is no racial predilection to sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung.
Gender
- Males are more commonly affected with sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung than females.[6][4]
- The male to female ratio is 4:1.[5]
- Biphasic blastoma subtype is an exception, that affects men and women equally.
Region
- Geographical location has no effect on the epidemiology of sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung.
