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]
