How deadly is lung cancer?
Lung cancer is a very deadly disease, with a high mortality rate.
It is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, accounting for more deaths than breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers combined.
The five-year survival rate for lung cancer is only 15%, and it is responsible for one in every three cancer deaths.
The mortality rate for lung cancer has been decreasing in men due to a decrease in smoking prevalence, but it has been increasing in women.
Despite the drop in smoking rates, lung cancer remains a significant public health epidemic, and smoking cessation alone will not cure it.
