    Lung Cancer
    • In the U.S. in 2020:
      • 197,453 new lung cancers were reported
      • 136,084 people died from lung cancer
      • Males had higher rates of getting and dying from lung cancer than females
    • From 2016-2020, 45% of all lung cancers were diagnosed at a distant stage
      • 27% were found at the localized stage
      • 23% were found at the regional stage
      • 5% were identified as unknown
    • 26% of lung cancer patients who were diagnosed from 2013 to 2019 had not died from their cancer 5 years later
    • Among people diagnosed with lung cancer from 2015 to 2019, 425,015 were still alive on January 1, 2020
    • 2020 cancer incidence was lower than in 2019, and this may have been because of the effect the COVID-19 pandemic had on cancer screening, diagnosis, and reporting to some central cancer registries in 2020
