Overview
Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung accounts for 30-35% of all lung cancers, and is the second most commonly encountered lung cancer, after lung adenocarcinoma.[1] Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung accounts for about 27.4% of all cancer deaths. The incidence of lung squamous-cell carcinoma increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is 70 years.[2] Squamous cell carcinoma is most frequently diagnosed among people among 65 to 74 years old. 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. Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung usually affects black individuals more frequently. Black race has a higher incidence compared to the white race to develop squamous cell lung carcinoma.[1]
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung is the second most common non-small cell lung cancer subtype in the United States
- Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung accounts for 30-35% of all lung cancers
- Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung accounts for about 27.4% of all cancer deaths[1]
Incidence
- The incidence rate of lung squamous-cell carcinoma is 14.4 per 100,000 individuals a year
- The relative incidence rate of squamous cell carcinoma of the lung appears to be decreasing, compared to previous years[1]
Age
- The incidence of lung squamous-cell carcinoma increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is 70 years[2]
- Squamous cell carcinoma is most frequently diagnosed among people among 55 to 60 years or older[3]
Gender
- 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
Race
- Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung usually affects black individuals more frequently. Black race has a higher incidence compared to the white race to develop squamous cell lung carcinoma[1]
