CA: 2022 Lung Cancer Treatment and Survival Predictions in the United States

There are about 654,620 lung cancer survivors in the United States, and 236,740 new patients are expected in 2022, and more than half (55%) of lung cancer survivors have been diagnosed in the past 5 years; Lung cancer usually has no obvious symptoms in the early stage, and most patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage; The overall and 5-year relative survival rates for small cell lung cancer at all stages are lower than for non-small cell lung cancer
.
Since the early 90s of the 20th century, the overall 5-year relative survival rate has almost doubled
