ABSTRACT:

Background

Lung cancer is the primary cause of cancer-related deaths in China. This study analysed the incidence and survival trends of lung cancer from 2011 to 2020 in Fujian Province, southeast of China, and provided basis for formulating prevention and treatment strategies.

Methods

The population-based cancer data was used to analyse the incidence of lung cancer between 2011 and 2020, which were stratified by sex, age and histology. The change of incidence trend was analysed using Joinpoint regression. The relative survival of lung cancer with onset in 2011-2014, 2015-2017 and 2018-2020 were calculated using the cohort, complete and period methods, respectively.

Results

There were 23,043 patients diagnosed with lung cancer in seven registries between 2011 and 2020,
