Trends of incidence of lung cancer among US men and women and from various birth cohorts. Adapted from the 2014 Surgeon General’s Report (1). (A–C) Graphs present trends in age-standardized incidence rates in the United States from 1973 to 2010 for lung cancer for men (A, left) and women (A, right) and histologic type of lung cancers using data from the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program. Among men, there has been a shift in the histology patterns, with an increase of adenocarcinomas over squamous cell carcinoma (B); similar trends are seen for women (C). Graphs present trends in incidence rates of lung cancer in the United States for 1905 and 1945 from birth cohorts of men (B) and for 1900 and 1945 from birth cohorts of women (C) and histologic type of lung cancers. NSCLC = non–small cell carcinoma.
