Population-based cohort study reports lung cancer incidence, prevalence, and survival in United Kingdom populations, highlighting evolving disease burden following reductions in smoking.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-associated mortality worldwide. In the United Kingdom (UK), there has been a major reduction in smoking, the leading risk factor for lung cancer. Therefore, an up-to-date assessment of the trends of lung cancer is required in the UK. This study aims to describe lung cancer burden and trends in terms of incidence, prevalence, and survival from 2000-2021, using two UK primary care databases.
