Lung cancer is the deadliest cancer worldwide, accounting for 1.82 million deaths in 2022. The second most deadly form of cancer is colorectum cancer, followed by liver cancer. However, lung cancer is only the sixth leading cause of death worldwide, with heart disease and stroke accounting for the highest share of deaths. Male vs. female cases Given that lung cancer causes the highest number of cancer deaths worldwide, it may be unsurprising to learn that lung cancer is the most common form of new cancer cases among males. However, among females, breast cancer is by far the most common form of new cancer cases. In fact, breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer worldwide, followed by prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is a very close second to lung cancer among the cancers with the highest rates of new cases among men. Male vs. female deaths Lung cancer is by far the deadliest form of cancer among males but is the second deadliest form of cancer among females. Breast cancer, the most prevalent form of cancer among females worldwide, is also the deadliest form of cancer among females. Although prostate cancer is the second most prevalent cancer among men, it is the fifth deadliest cancer. Lung, liver, stomach, colorectum, and oesophagus cancers all have higher deaths rates among males.

In 2022, there were over 9.7 million cancer deaths worldwide. It is projected that the number of deaths due to cancer worldwide will increase to almost 18.5 million by 2050. The most prevalent type of cancer in 2022 was breast cancer with around 48 prevalent cases per 100,000 population. However, lung cancer is by far the deadliest type of cancer.

Lung Cancer Lung cancer is a malignant lung tumor characterized by uncontrolled cell growth in tissues of the lung. In 2022, around 1.82 million cancer deaths, or 19 percent of all cancer deaths worldwide were attributed to lung cancer. Long-term smoking is known to be a major cause of lung cancer. People who never quit smoking are 24 percent more likely to die before age 65 than people who never smoked in their lives.

Treatment In 2023, it was estimated that there were around 4,492 cancer immunotherapy products in R&D phases, as well as another 3,622 other cancer products in the R&D product pipeline. In the same year, it was projected that there were 965 active drugs for breast cancer, as well as 925 active drugs for non-small cell lung cancer.

🌍 The Societal Impact of Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is not just a disease — it's a global crisis that steals time, health, and hope from millions of people every year. As the #1 cause of cancer deaths worldwide, it takes more lives annually than breast, colon, and prostate cancer combined.

But behind every statistic is a story:

A parent who never saw their child graduate.

A worker who had to leave their job too soon.

A community that lost a leader, a friend, a neighbor.

Why does this matter? Lung cancer often goes undetected until it's too late. It’s aggressive, silent, and devastating — especially in underserved areas where early detection is rare and treatment options are limited. It doesn’t just affect patients. It affects families, economies, and healthcare systems on a massive scale.

This dataset represents more than numbers. It represents 800,000 real-world stories — people who can help us unlock patterns, train models, and advance life-saving research.

By working with this data, you're not just analyzing a dataset — you're stepping into the fight against one of humanity’s deadliest diseases.

Let’s turn insight into impact. (😊The above descriptions is generated with the help of AI, Just wanted to share this dataset That all. Thank you)

Lung cancer had the highest rate of death among all cancer types worldwide in 2022. In that year, there were around 17 deaths from trachea, bronchus and lung cancer per 100,000 population. The death rate for all cancers was 91.1 per 100,000 population. This statistic shows the rate of cancer deaths worldwide in 2022, by type of cancer.

For both sexes of all ages, the total number of cancer deaths was estimated to be approximately 9.74 million in 2022. Almost one fifth of these deaths were from lung cancer. This statistic describes the distribution of cancer deaths worldwide in 2022, sorted by type of cancer.

BackgroundUnderstanding the effects of demographic drivers on lung cancer mortality trends is critical for lung cancer control. We have examined the drivers of lung cancer mortality at the global, regional, and national levels.MethodsData on lung cancer death and mortality were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2019. Estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) in the age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) for lung cancer and all-cause mortality were calculated to measure temporal trends in lung cancer from 1990 to 2019. Decomposition analysis was used to analyze the contributions of epidemiological and demographic drivers to lung cancer mortality.ResultsDespite a non-significant decrease in ASMR [EAPC = −0.31, 95% confidence interval (CI): −1.1 to 0.49], the number of deaths from lung cancer increased by 91.8% [95% uncertainty interval (UI): 74.5–109.0%] between 1990 and 2019. This increase was due to the changes in the number of deaths attributable to population aging (59.6%), population growth (56.7%), and non-GBD risks (3.49%) compared with 1990 data. Conversely, the number of lung cancer deaths due to GBD risks decreased by 19.8%, mainly due to tobacco (−12.66%), occupational risks (−3.52%), and air pollution (−3.47%). More lung cancer deaths (1.83%) were observed in most regions, which were due to high fasting plasma glucose levels. The temporal trend of lung cancer ASMR and the patterns of demographic drivers varied by region and gender. Significant associations were observed between the contributions of population growth, GBD risks and non-GBD risks (negative), population aging (positive), and ASMR in 1990, the sociodemographic index (SDI), and the human development index (HDI) in 2019.ConclusionPopulation aging and population growth increased global lung cancer deaths from 1990 to 2019, despite a decrease in age-specific lung cancer death rates due to GBD risks in most regions. A tailored strategy is needed to reduce the increasing burden of lung cancer due to outpacing demographic drivers of epidemiological change globally and in most regions, taking into account region- or gender-specific risk patterns.

Market Dynamics of the Lung Cancer Therapeutics

Key Drivers of the Lung Cancer Therapeutics

The strong prevalence of lung cancer is notably driving market growth.

One of the most prevalent forms of cancer is lung cancer. Several reasons, including the aging population and lifestyle changes, have contributed to a notable increase in the number of new instances of cancer, particularly lung cancer, in recent years. In the United States, 6.2% of the population is at risk of developing lung cancer. Lung cancer still has a very high death rate, even with recent declines in the rate, which presents a market potential for suppliers. The market is anticipated to expand over the forecast period as a result of the high disease incidence rate and the rising number of drug approvals. • For instance, according to the 2022 report by the American Lung Association, while the disease remains the leading cause of cancer deaths among women and men, the survival rate over the past five years has increased from 21% nationally to 25% yet remains significantly lower among communities of color at 20%. Hence, the increasing prevalence of cancer and the need for effective treatment is likely to contribute to market growth. (Source:https://www.lung.org/research/state-of-lung-cancer/key-findings)

Rising pollution due to rapid industrialization increases the incidences of lung cancer

Air pollution (outdoor and indoor particulate matter and ozone) is closely linked to the rising prevalence of heart disease and strokes, lung cancer, lower respiratory infections, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The Global Burden of Disease Study Report (2019) ranks air pollution as the third leading cause of death worldwide. Globally, air pollution is responsible for 6.82 million deaths annually, of which 33% are caused by interior pollution and 66% by outdoor pollution. • For instance, According to the conference organized by the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM), ‘Lung Cancer- Awareness, Prevention, Challenges & Treatment’, air pollution is the leading cause of the rise of lung cancer in the country. Around 63 out of the 100 most polluted places on earth belong to India.

IntroductionSecond-hand smoke (SHS) exposure significantly contributes to lung cancer development, yet its global burden remains poorly quantified.MethodUsing data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021, we analyzed SHS-related lung cancer deaths, disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), and corresponding age-standardized rates (ASRs) across different regions and countries, stratified by gender, age, and Socio-Demographic Index (SDI). The estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) in the ASRs were calculated to determine the temporal trends spanning from 1990 to 2021. We also quantified the relationship between the SDI and the age-standardized rates of lung cancer caused by SHS.ResultsIn 2021, SHS accounted for approximately 0.10 million lung cancer deaths and 2.37 million DALYs worldwide, with a male-to-female mortality ratio of 1.38. The age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) and age-standardized DALY rate (ASDR) manifested a trend of decline, with EAPC of -0.88 (95% UI: -0.94 to -0.82) and -1.25 (95% UI: -1.31 to -1. 19), respectively. The ASMR or ASDR peaked in middle and high-middle SDI regions, with a lower burden in other SDI regions. Nevertheless, the ASMR and ASDR in the high SDI region witnessed the most significant decline. Men bore a heavier burden of lung cancer attributable to SHS compared with women. The sexual disparity was more conspicuous among the elderly.ConclusionDuring the past 32 years, the global burden of lung cancer attributable to SHS has revealed a downward tendency, concomitant with a decline in SHS exposure. The rise in absolute deaths and DALYs is driven by population growth and aging despite falling ASRs. Persistent epidemiological disparities across genders, age groups, and regions underscore the need for targeted interventions, particularly in middle and high-middle SDI settings.

BackgroundLung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide, and tuberculosis (TB) is a common pre-existing disease. However, there is scarce literature studying the mortality risk in patients with prior TB and subsequent lung cancer.MethodsWe recruited lung cancer patients from the Taiwan Cancer Registry from 2011 to 2015 and classified them into two groups according to presence or absence of prior TB. We then matched them in a ratio of 1:4 using the exact matching approach. The mortality risk within 3 years after diagnosis of lung cancer was analyzed and compared between these two groups.ResultsDuring the study period, 43,472 patients with lung cancer were recruited, and of these, 1,211 (2.79%) patients had prior TB. After matching, this cohort included 5,935 patients with lung cancer in two groups: patients with prior TB before lung cancer (n = 1,187) and those without (n = 4,748). After controlling for demographic factors and comorbidities, the patients with prior TB had increased adjusted hazard ratios of 1.13 (95% CI: 1.04–1.23) and 1.11 (1.02–1.21) for all-cause and cancer-specific 3-year mortality, respectively, compared to the lung cancer patients without prior TB. Duration between TB and lung cancer (<1 year vs. 1–3 years vs. >3 years) had no differences for mortality risk.ConclusionIn the present study, 2.79% patients with lung cancer had prior TB, which was associated with higher 3-year mortality after they developed lung cancer. The mortality risk with prior TB did not decrease even if >3 years passed before diagnosis of lung cancer.

Lung cancer is the number one cancer-related cause of death in Sweden and worldwide. In most countries, five-year survival estimates vary between 10% and 20% with evidence of improved survival over time. Over the last decades, the management of lung cancer has changed including the introduction of national guidelines, new diagnostic procedures and treatments. This study aimed to investigate temporal trends in lung cancer survival both overall and in subgroups defined by established prognostic factors (i.e., sex, stage, histopathology and smoking history). We estimated one-, two-, and five-year relative survival, and excess mortality, in patients diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma or adenocarcinoma of the lung between 1995 and 2016 in Sweden. We used population-based information available in a national lung cancer research database (LCBaSe) generated by cross-linkage between the Swedish National Lung Cancer Register and several Swedish health and sociodemographic registers. We included 36,935 patients diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma or adenocarcinoma of the lung between 1995 and 2016. The overall one-, two- and five-year survival estimates increased between 1995 and 2016, from 38% to 53%, 21% to 37%, and 14% to 24%, respectively. Over the study period, we also found improved survival in subgroups, for example in patients with stages III-IV disease, patients with adenocarcinoma, and never-smokers. The excess mortality decreased over the study period, both overall and in all subgroups. Lung cancer survival increased over time in the overall lung cancer population. Of special note was evidence of improved survival in patients with stage IV disease. Our results corroborate a previously observed global trend of improved survival in patients with lung cancer.

In 2010, cancer deaths accounted for more than 15% of all deaths worldwide, and this fraction is estimated to rise in the coming years. Increased cancer mortality has been observed in immigrant populations, but a comprehensive analysis by country of birth has not been conducted. We followed all individuals living in Sweden between 1961 and 2009 (7,109,327 men and 6,958,714 women), and calculated crude cancer mortality rates and age-standardized rates (ASRs) using the world population for standardization. We observed a downward trend in all-site ASRs over the past two decades in men regardless of country of birth but no such trend was found in women. All-site cancer mortality increased with decreasing levels of education regardless of sex and country of birth (p for trend <0.001). We also compared cancer mortality rates among foreign-born (13.9%) and Sweden-born (86.1%) individuals and determined the effect of education level and sex estimated by mortality rate ratios (MRRs) using multivariable Poisson regression. All-site cancer mortality was slightly higher among foreign-born than Sweden-born men (MRR = 1.05, 95% confidence interval 1.04–1.07), but similar mortality risks was found among foreign-born and Sweden-born women. Men born in Angola, Laos, and Cambodia had the highest cancer mortality risk. Women born in all countries except Iceland, Denmark, and Mexico had a similar or smaller risk than women born in Sweden. Cancer-specific mortality analysis showed an increased risk for cervical and lung cancer in both sexes but a decreased risk for colon, breast, and prostate cancer mortality among foreign-born compared with Sweden-born individuals. Further studies are required to fully understand the causes of the observed inequalities in mortality across levels of education and countries of birth.
