Comparative analysis of tracheal, bronchus, and lung cancer burden trends between China and the global population (1990-2021).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Tracheal, bronchus, and lung (TBL) cancer is one of the most prevalent and fatal malignancies worldwide, with China accounting for one-third of global new cases and deaths. This study aims to compare the differences in TBL cancer burden between China and the global population.

Methods

Based on the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 data, the study analyzed the trends in incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of TBL cancer in China and the global population from 1990 to 2021. Decomposition analysis was used to quantify the contributions of population growth, aging, and epidemiological changes to the cancer burden, and the attribution proportions of risk factors were assessed.

Results

The global TBL cancer burden showed a declining
