The Epidemiology of Lung Cancer

Malignant Tumors of the Lung

  • 181 Accesses

Abstract

Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer and cancer death throughout the world. In the United States alone, lung cancer is expected to account for an estimated 169,400 of the 1.28 million new cases of cancer and 154,900 of 555,500 cancer deaths for 2002 (Jemal et al. 2002). Because the widespread incidence of lung cancer around the world mirrors the high rates of the United States, it is vital that the disease be studied in an effort to reduce the incidence of this disease. It is clear that cigarette smoking is the primary cause of lung cancer, thus making it a largely preventable disease. Epidemiology is the field of study that investigates the frequency, etiologies, incidence, and mortality of various disease states. This chapter will endeavor to highlight lung cancer incidence and mortality worldwide, identify changing trends in the lung cancer epidemic, and discuss the numerous etiologies of this deadly cancer.
