Lung Cancer Among Women in the United States

Abstract
November marks Lung Cancer Awareness Month, and reminds us that lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among women in the United States. In this brief report, we highlight CDC resources that can be used to examine the most recent data on lung cancer incidence, survival, prevalence, and mortality among women. Using the U.S. Cancer Statistics Data Visualizations tool, we report that in 2015, 104,992 new cases of lung cancer and 70,073 lung cancer deaths were reported among women in the United States. The 5-year relative survival among females diagnosed with lung cancer was 22%, and as of 2015, ∼185,759 women were living with a lung cancer diagnosis. We also describe ways CDC works to collect and disseminate quality cancer surveillance data, prevent initiation of tobacco use, promote cessation, eliminate exposure to secondhand smoke, identify and eliminate disparities, promote lung cancer screening, and help cancer survivors live longer by improving health outcomes.
Keywords: National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program; National Program of Cancer Registries; U.S. Cancer Statistics; cancer prevention; cancer survivorship; early detection; lung cancer; women's health.

Figures
Figure 1.
Rate of new invasive lung cancer cases by state, females, United States, 2015. Data are from cancer registries meeting U.S. Cancer Statistics data quality criteria covering 100% of the U.S. population. Cancer registries are supported by CDC’s National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR) and the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program. Rates are the number of deaths per 100,000 women and are age-adjusted to the 2000 U.S. standard population.
