Survival Trends of Metastatic Lung Cancer in California by Age at Diagnosis, Gender, Race/Ethnicity, and Histology, 1990-2014.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We analyzed the survival trends for patients with metastatic lung cancer in California.

Materials and methods

We identified patients first diagnosed with primary lung cancer at distant (metastatic) stage in the California Cancer Registry between 1990 and 2014, with follow-up through end of 2015. Race/ethnicity was categorized into non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, Hispanic, and Asian/Pacific Islander. One-year and 5-year relative survival rates were calculated overall and by age at diagnosis, gender, race/ethnicity, and histology during the study period. Joinpoint regression was used to evaluate the trends and to calculate the annual percentage changes (APCs).

Results

A total of 186,156 adults were identified for analysis. Between 1990 and 2014, 1-yea
