The epidemiological landscape of lung cancer: current status, temporal trend and future projections based on the latest estimates from GLOBOCAN 2022.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Given the relatively unfavorable prognosis and significant geographic differences in lung cancer burden, it is critical to update the global landscape of lung cancer to inform local strategies.

Methods

Based on the GLOBOCAN 2022, the age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) and mortality rate (ASMR) were compared and linked to the Human Development Index (HDI) across different populations. The temporal trends in ASIR/ASMR were characterized as estimated annual percentage change (EAPC), and demographic projections were performed up to 2050.

Results

Globally, an estimated 2,480,675 cases and 1,817,469 deaths from lung cancer occurred in 2022. Both ASIR and ASMR of lung cancer varied widely by world region, with ASIR ranging from 2.06 to 39.38 per 100,000 and AS
