肺癌是目前美国癌症死亡的主要原因，也是全球最常见的肿瘤。在过去的二十年中，美国组织学类型分布的变化，以及某些亚群肺癌的高发病率，需要解释。虽然吸烟和特定的职业暴露已被确定为肺癌的重要危险因素，但最近的工作提供了证据，表明其他因素可能作为独立的危险因素或作为吸烟影响的修饰剂发挥作用。本文回顾了肺癌的流行病学，重点是在过去十年的发展。
Lung cancer is currently the leading cause of cancer death in the United States and also the most common tumor worldwide. Changes in the distribution of histologic types over the past two decades in the United States, as well as high rates of lung cancer in certain subpopulations, require explanation. While cigarette smoking and specific occupational exposures are firmly established as important risk factors for lung cancer, recent work provides evidence that other factors may play a role either as independent risk factors or as modifiers of the effect of smoking. This paper reviews the epidemiology of lung cancer, with an emphasis on developments in the past decade.
