Epidemiologic data

Number of patients:

• 1,35 million people per year on the whole world (2003);

• Global incidence in male –

35,5/100.000, in female – 12,1/100.000.

There were 215.020 patients in USA (114.690 male and 100.330

female). Incidence - 63,9/100.000 (79.4/100.000 for male,
52.6/100.000 for female). Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results
(http://www.seer.cancer.gov); 20 000 people in Poland.

In 2008, 161.840 patients died due to lung cancer in USA (death rate -

72.0/100.000 for male and 41.0/100.000 for female). In USA, 75%
patients died during 5 years from cancer diagnosis, in Poland – 86%.

The median age of diagnosis was 70 years (in 2003, in USA). 32,6%

patients was diagnosed between 65 and 74 years age.

Lung cancer

Lung cancer

Lung cancer is malignant neoplasm derived

from airway epithelium cells (bronchi,
bronchiole, alveoli).

There are two types of lung cancer: small cell

lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung
cancer (NSCLC).

88% of primary lung cancers:

• squamous cell lung cancer (cornnifying or non-cornifying);
• small cell lung cancer;
• lung adenocarcioma (with brochioloalveolar adenocarcinoma subtype);
• giant cell carcinoma (anaplastic cell carcinoma).
