LUNG CANCER-Presentation-Nov. 18th, 2023-Holman UMC
November is LUNG CANCER AWARENESS MONTH
How common is lung cancer?
Lung cancer (both small cell and non-small cell) is the second most common cancer
(not counting skin cancer).
In men, prostate cancer is more common, while in women breast cancer is more common.
The American Cancer Society’s estimates for lung cancer in the United States for 2022 are:
About 236,740 new cases of lung cancer (117,910 in men and 118,830 in women)
About 130,180 deaths from lung cancer (68,820 in men and 61,360 in women)
Lung cancer mainly occurs in older people.
Most people diagnosed with lung cancer are 65 or older;
a very small number of people diagnosed are younger than 45.
The average age of people when diagnosed is about 70.
Lung cancer is by far the leading cause of cancer death , making up almost 25% of all cancer deaths.
Each year, more people die of lung cancer than of colon, breast, and prostate cancers combined.
On a positive note, the number of new lung cancer cases continues to decrease,
partly because people are quitting smoking.
Also, the number of deaths from lung cancer continues to drop due to people stopping smoking
and advances in early detection and treatment.
