The highest rates are in in the 75 to 79 age group for females and the 85 to 89 age group for males. Incidence rates are significantly lower in females than males in a number of mainly older age groups.
Download this data [xlsx]. For lung cancer, like most cancer types, incidence increases with age. This largely reflects cell DNA damage accumulating over time. Damage can result from biological processes or from exposure to risk factors.
A drop or plateau in incidence in the oldest age groups often indicates reduced diagnostic activity perhaps due to general ill health. Lung cancer mortality statistics by age.
Lung cancer survival statistics by age. Cancer incidence statistics by age for all cancers. Over the last decade in the UK between and , lung cancer AS incidence rates for females and males combined remained stable.
Lung cancer incidence rates have increased overall in some broad age groups in females in the UK since the early s, but have decreased or remained stable in others.
Lung cancer incidence rates have decreased overall in most broad age groups in males in the UK since the early s, but have remained stable in some. For lung cancer, like most cancer types, incidence trends largely reflect changing prevalence of risk factors and improvements in diagnosis and data recording.
Recent incidence trends are influenced by risk factor prevalence in years past, and trends by age group reflect risk factor exposure in birth cohorts. Lung cancer mortality trends over time. Lung cancer survival trends over time. Lung cancer risk factors.
Cancer incidence statistics for common cancers in the UK. Download this data [pdf]. Download the data table xls. It is projected that 62, cases of lung cancer 32, in males, 29, in females will be diagnosed in the UK in Find out how these projections were calculated. Incidence trends over time for lung cancer. Projections of incidence for all cancers combined. Lung cancer risk. Download the projections data table.
Projections are based on observed incidence and mortality rates and therefore implicitly include changes in cancer risk factors, diagnosis and treatment. It is not possible to assess the statistical significance of changes between observed and projected figures. Confidence intervals are not calculated for the projected figures. Projections are by their nature uncertain because unexpected events in future could change the trend.
It is not sensible to calculate a boundary of uncertainty around these already uncertain point estimates. Changes are described as 'increase' or 'decrease' if there is any difference between the point estimates. More on projections methodology. It is estimated that there are around 14, more cases of lung cancer each year in England than there would be if every deprivation quintile had the same age-specific crude incidence rates as the least deprived quintile.
Around 6, of these cases are in females, and around 7, in males. Data table: Cancer incidence rates and excess cases by cancer type in England. However, lung cancer deaths are slowly dropping because it is being found earlier, treatments have improved, and more people are quitting smoking. The percentage of lung cancer deaths is highest among people 65 and older.
Very few people are diagnosed with lung cancer before age The average age that someone is diagnosed is The rates for new cases of lung cancer have been decreasing over time, falling 2. Death rates have also been declining, falling on average 3. Five-year survival living at least 5 years from diagnosis rates are improving. The most recent data shows a 5-year survival rate of Where you live matters too. In , people living in Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, and West Virginia had the highest rates of new cases of lung cancer.
Western states had the lowest rates of new cases of lung cancer. Lung cancer increased dramatically over most of the 20th century in the U. Men in America began smoking earlier in the 20th century, with women smoking more after World War II. Statistics show that quitting smoking at any age greatly lowers the risk of death from all major smoking-related diseases, including lung cancer. Nearly all the risk of death from smoking-related diseases can be avoided if someone quits smoking before age While doctors know that vaping causes lung damage, they do not yet know if vaping causes lung cancer in the same way that cigarette smoking does.
