Overview
Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung accounts for 30% to 35% of all lung cancers. It is the second most commonly encountered lung cancer after lung adenocarcinoma.[1] Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung accounts for approximately 27% of all cancer deaths. The incidence of lung squamous-cell carcinoma increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is approximately 70 years (usually ranging from 65 to 74 years).[2] 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. Black race has a higher incidence of squamous cell lung carcinoma compared with White race.[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% to 35% of all lung cancers.
- Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung accounts for approximately 27% of all cancer deaths.[1]
Incidence
- The annual incidence rate of lung squamous cell carcinoma is 14.4 per 100,000 individuals.
- 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 (usually ranging from 65 to 74 years).[2]
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
- Black race has a higher incidence of squamous cell lung carcinoma compared with White race.[1]
