Lung cancer causes 30 percent of all cancer deaths

November 30, 2007

Lung cancer causes 30 percent of all cancer deaths per year making it the leading cause of cancer death in the United States on an annual basis.
It takes more lives annually than breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer, liver cancer, kidney cancer, and melanoma combined. More than 50% of the time, new lung cancer cases are diagnosed at a very late stage, making them difficult to treat effectively. In fact, only 5 to 10 percent of those diagnosed with advanced lung cancer will reach the five year survival plateau.

Recent improvements in diagnostic technology, biopsy and treatment techniques have enhanced the clinician’s ability to accurately diagnose, stage and treat lung cancer. Perhaps no other improvement has been as important as the use of computed tomography, often called a CT or CAT scan, as a front line screening tool in detecting early stage lung cancer in asymptomatic patients.

A landmark study published in the October 2006 New England Journal of Medicine found that with CT Screening, lung cancer can be detected at the earliest stage (Stage I) in 85 percent of patients and can lead to an estimated 10 year survival rate of 88 percent. The estimated 10 year survival rate goes even higher, to 92 percent, for those whose early detected cancers are able to be removed completely with surgery.
