Overview
The incidence of adenocarcinoma of the lung is approximately 22.1 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.[1] Adenocarcinoma of the lung affects men and women equally. Patients of all age groups may develop adenocarcinoma of the lung.[2]
Epidemiology and Demographics

- Adenocarcinoma of the lung is now considered the most common histological subtypes of lung cancer.[1]
- Nearly 40% of lung cancers in the US are adenocarcinoma.
- Among people who have smoked fewer than 100 cigarettes in their lifetimes, adenocarcinoma is the most common form of lung cancer.

Gender
- Adenocarcinoma of the lung affects men and women equally.[2]
Age
