Overview
The incidence of adenocarcinoma of the lung is approximately 22.1 per 100,000 individuals worldwide. Adenocarcinoma of the lung affects men and women equally. Patients of all age groups may develop adenocarcinoma of the lung.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence of adenocarcinoma of the lung is approximately 22.1 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.[1]
Prevalence
- Presently, adenocarcinoma is the most common histological subtype of lung cancer as it accounts for forty percent of all lung cancers.[1]
- It is more common in individuals who smoke fewer than 100 cigarettes in their lifetimes.
- To view more epidemiological information among patients of lung cancer, please click Here.
Age
- Patients of all age groups may develop adenocarcinoma of the lung.[2]
Gender
- Adenocarcinoma of the lung affects men and women equally.[2]
Region
- The majority of [disease name] cases are reported in [geographical region].
- [Disease name] is a common/rare disease that tends to affect [patient population 1] and [patient population 2].

Epidemiology and Demographics
Developed Countries
- The incidence of adenocarcinoma of the lung has been increasing in many developed Western nations in the past few decades, where it has become the most common major type of lung cancer in smokers (replacing squamous cell carcinoma of the lung) and in lifelong nonsmokers.[1]
