Lung cancer trends and tumor characteristic changes over 20 years (2000-2020): Results of three French consecutive nationwide prospective cohorts' studies.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Long-term changes in lung cancer (LC) patients are difficult to evaluate. We report results from the French KBP-2020 real-life cohort.

Methods

KBP-2020 was a prospective cohort that included all patients diagnosed with LC in 2020, in nonacademic public hospital in France. Patient and tumour characteristics were described and compared with similarly designed cohorts in 2000 and 2010.

Findings

In 2020, 82 centers included 8,999 patients diagnosed with LC. The proportion of women increased: 34·6% (3114/8999) compared to, 24·3% (1711/7051) and 16·0% (904/5667) in 2010 and 2000 (p<0·0001). The proportion of non-smokers was higher in 2020 (12·6%, 1129/8983) than in previous cohorts (10·9% (762/7008) in 2010; 7·2% (402/5586) in 2000, p<0·0001). In 20
