Overview
- Small cell carcinoma of the lung represents 13.6% of all lung cancers and is most common in African American males.
Epidemiology
Incidence
- The expected number for new cases of lung cancer for 2014 is 224,210.[1] Small cell lung cancer represents 13.6% of all lung cancers. 30,845 cases per year of small cell lung cancer have been reported between 2006 and 2010.[2] The male to female ratio has decreased, and overall, the incidence has decreased. In male population the incidence has decreased 1.9% per year and 1.2% in women from 2006 to 2010.
Prevalence
Demographics
Age
- Most small cell carcinomas occur in patients > 50 years of age.
Gender
- Lung cancer is more prevalent in male population, however, in the past decades this figures had changed. The estimated new cases for lung cancer in male and female for 2014 had come closer (Male 116,000 vs Female 108,210).
Race
- African Americans have a high incidence of lung cancer.[2]
