Overview
Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung accounts for 30% to 35% of all lung cancers. It is the second most commonly encountered lung cancer after lung adenocarcinoma. Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung accounts for approximately 27% of all cancer deaths. The incidence of lung squamous-cell carcinoma increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is approximately 70 years (usually ranging from 65 to 74 years). Males are more commonly affected with squamous cell carcinoma of the lung than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 1.8 to 1. Black race has a higher incidence of squamous cell lung carcinoma compared with White race.
