AbstractLung cancer remains one the most common cancers in Europe and ranks first in terms of cancer mortality in both sexes. Incidence rates vary by region and depend above all on the prevalence of tobacco consumption. In this study we describe recent trends in lung cancer incidence by sex, age and histological type in Catalonia and project changes according to histology by 2025. Bayesian age-period-cohort models were used to predict trends in lung cancer incidence according to histological type from 2012 to 2025, using data from the population-based Catalan cancer registries. Data suggest a decrease in the absolute number of new cases in men under the age of 70 years and an increase in women aged 60 years or older. Adenocarcinoma was the most common type in both sexes, while squamous cell carcinoma and small cell carcinoma were decreasing significantly among men. In both sexes, the incident cases increased by 16% for patients over 70 years. Increases in adenocarcinoma and rising incidence in elderly patients suggest the need to prioritize strategies based on multidisciplinary teams, which should include geriatric specialists.

Objective. The aim of this study was to investigate time trends of lung cancer incidence by histological type in Lithuania during the period from 1996 to 2005. The results were evaluated in relation to tobacco smoking trends. Material and Methods. The incidence rates of the most common lung cancer cell types (squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, small cell carcinoma, other types, and morphologically not specified cases) were studied using data from the Lithuanian Cancer Registry. The world standard population was used for age adjustment. Data on tobacco smoking in Lithuania were obtained from various published sources. Results. Among men, squamous cell carcinoma was the most common type of lung cancer. The age-adjusted rates of squamous cell carcinoma decreased from 25 per 100 000 in 1998–1999 to 19.1 per 100 000 in 2004–2005; the incidence rates for adenocarcinoma and small cell carcinoma rose to around 7 per 100 000 in 2002–2003. Among women, adenocarcinoma was the most common histological type. The incidence rates for adenocarcinoma increased to 1.9 per 100 000 until 2002–2003 and thereafter did not change. The rates of squamous cell carcinoma in women were relatively stable at around 1.1 per 100 000. In 2000, the prevalence of regular smoking among men and women peaked at 51.5% and 15.8%, respectively; there was a significant change from smoking nonfilter cigarettes to filter cigarettes. Conclusions. The decreasing squamous cell carcinoma rates among men and increasing adenocarcinoma rates among men and women are similar to those reported in other European countries and may be due to a shift from nonfilter type cigarettes to filter type.

Most studies have examined PM2.5 effects on lung cancer mortalities, while few nationwide studies have been conducted in developing countries to estimate the effects of PM2.5 on lung cancer incidences. To fill this gap, this work aims to examine the effects of PM2.5 exposure on annual incidence rates of lung cancer for males and females in China. We performed a nationwide analysis in 295 counties (districts) from 2006 to 2014. Two regression models were employed to analyse data controlling for time, location and socioeconomic characteristics. We also examined whether the estimates of PM2.5 effects are sensitive to the adjustment of health and behaviour covariates, and the issue of the changing cancer registries each year. We further investigated the modification effects of region, temperature and precipitation. Generally, we found significantly positive associations between PM2.5 and incidence rates of lung cancer for males and females. If concurrent PM2.5 changes by 10 μg/m3, then the incidence rate relative to its baseline significantly changes by 4.20% (95% CI: 2.73%, 5.88%) and 2.48% (95% CI: 1.24%, 4.14%) for males and females, respectively. The effects of exposure to PM2.5 were still significant when further controlling for health and behaviour factors or using 5 year consecutive data from 91 counties. We found the evidence of long-term lag effects of PM2.5. We also found that temperature appeared to positively modify the effects of PM2.5 on the incidence rates of lung cancer for males. In conclusion, there were significantly adverse effects of PM2.5 on the incidence rates of lung cancer for both males and females in China. The estimated effect sizes might be considerably lower than those reported in developed countries. There were long-term lag effects of PM2.5 on lung cancer incidence in China.

Abstract Cancer incidence varies among American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations, as well as between AI/AN and White populations. This study examined trends for cancers with elevated incidence among AI/AN compared with non-Hispanic White populations and estimated potentially avoidable incident cases among AI/AN populations. Incident cases diagnosed during 2012–2016 were identified from population-based cancer registries and linked with the Indian Health Service patient registration databases to improve racial classification of AI/AN populations. Age-adjusted rates (per 100,000) and trends were calculated for cancers with elevated incidence among AI/AN compared with non-Hispanic White populations (rate ratio >1.0), by region. Trends were estimated using joinpoint regression analyses. Expected cancers were estimated by applying age-specific cancer incidence rates among non-Hispanic White populations to population estimates for AI/AN populations. Excess cancer cases among AI/AN populations were defined as observed minus expected cases. Liver, stomach, kidney, lung, colorectal and female breast cancers had higher incidence rate among AI/AN populations across most regions. Between 2012 and 2016, nearly 5,200 excess cancers were diagnosed among AI/AN populations, with the largest number of excess cancers (1,925) occurring in the Southern Plains region. Culturally informed efforts may reduce cancer disparities associated with these and other cancers among AI/AN populations.

Cancer Incidence Rates

Apart from smoking, an urban factor is an established risk factor for lung cancer. Lung cancer is associated with environmental factors, occupational exposure, bad habits and lifestyle factors. Approximately 17% of the annual deaths from lung cancer among adults are attributable to exposure to carcinogens located in the surface layer of the urban atmosphere, with industrial pollution and occupational hazards. According to recent data, 97% of cities in low- and middle-income countries with a population of more than 100 thousand people do not meet WHO recommendations for air quality; in high-income countries, this figure has been reduced to 49%. In the United States, the studies demonstrated that the prevalence of combined lung cancer was higher in urban areas (10.2%) than in rural areas (4.8%). There was a difference in the lung cancer incidence rates between the populations of the New York City and the New York State. In males, the lung cancer incidence rates were 1.4 times higher in the New York City than in the New York State (68.9 ± 1.2 0/0000 versus 48.5 ± 0.2 0/0000). In females, the lung cancer incidence rates were 1.2 times higher in the New York City than in the New York State (43.0 ± 0.3 and 34.9 ± 0.1 0/0000, respectively). In China, in urban areas, the lung cancer incidence mortality rates were 36.6 0/0000 and 28.9 0/0000, respectively. In rural areas, the corresponding values were 33.4 and 26.6 0/0000, respectively. Although the lung cancer incidence and mortality rates are higher in urban areas than in rural areas, these differences are gradually decreasing: the incidence rate between urban and rural areas has decreased from 2.1 to 1.1. The issue of the impact of environment on the incidence of lung cancer is challenging. The outdoor environment affects people’s health with varying degrees of intensity both in time and in space.

The aim of the study was to assess the lung cancer incidence and mortality in the Khanty-mansi autonomous okrug – Yugra during the period 1999–2019.Material and methods. We have studied the lung cancer incidence and mortality rates in Yugra over the last 21 years (1999–2019).Results. In Yugra, the lung cancer (lc) incidence rates increased by 24.7 % from 1999 to 2019, demonstrating higher rates than those in the Russian Federation (RF), where lc incidence rates decreased by 20.3 %. In 2019, the age-standardized incidence rate was 30.5 per 100,000 (22.7 for RF); the age-standardized mortality rate was 16.4 per 100,000 (18.4 for RF). The mortality rate from lc in Yugra was 9.6 times higher in males than in females (35.5 vs. 3.7 per 100,000). The cross-correlation analysis revealed a correlation between the lc incidence/mortality and air pollution in Yugra. The main carcinogens in Yugra were formaldehyde, phenol, nitrogen dioxide, and benzapyrene. The assessment of the relationship between the age-standardized lc incidence/mortality rates and the amount of pollutants emitted into the atmosphere revealed that their synergistic effects with tobacco smoking can double the risk of lung cancer development. The increase in the number of chest computed tomography (ct) scans performed in the context of the pandemic caused by covid-19 infection led to an 18 % increase in the number of incidentally detected pulmonary nodules, of which 9 % of cases were diagnosed as lc.Conclusion. The lc incidence rates in Yugra tended to increase. The high rate of lc incidence is caused by man-made and natural factors, which requires the implementation of a screening program with the use of low-dose computed tomography in order to improve the early detection and prevention of this disease.

e13571 Background: Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer death worldwide. In Brazil, the Ministry of Health estimated an absolute incidence of 30,200 cases of lung cancer in 2020. Eighty-five percent of diagnosed cases are associated with consumption of tobacco products. Although smoking remains the predominant cause, lung cancer in never smokers is an increasingly prominent public health problem. However, data on this topic, particularly lung cancer incidence rates in developing countries in never smokers are limited. Methods: The data presented in this work correspond to the period from 2007 to 2017 and were extracted from the database of the Hospital Cancer Registry of the Evangelical Hospital of Cachoeiro de Itapemirim (RHC / HECI) through SisRHC, a computerized database management tool for Hospital Cancer Records. Results: Of the 494 patients who were diagnosed with lung cancer aged 18 years or over, 395 (80%) had complete information on a history of tobacco use, of which 68 patients denied smoking. Based on data from 68 patients, the years 2011 and 2012 had the lowest incidence, 6%, of non-smokers with lung cancer. 2009 and 2007 were the years with the highest incidence, 24 and 33% respectively. In the remaining years, the percentage varied between 15 and 23%. Regarding gender, 47 (69%) of the cases were women and 21 (31%) were men. Adenocarcinoma without a specific origin (NOS) was the most frequent histological type in non-smoking patients, with 33 (48.5%) of the cases, followed by malignant neoplasia 10 (14.7%), squamous cell carcinoma NOS 8 (11, 8%) and NOS carcinoma 7 (10.3%), the types of NOS large cell carcinoma, NOS small cell carcinoma, NOS papillary carcinoma, NOS bronchioloalveolar adenocarcinoma and adenosquamous carcinoma account for 10 (14.7%) cases. Analyzing the clinical staging (CE) at the time of diagnosis, 1 (1.5%) had EC 1, 4 (5.9%) EC 2, 12 (17.6%) EC 3, 42 (61.8%) EC 4 and 9 (13.2%) had no reports of staging. The median incidence rate was 17%, confirming that smoking remains the biggest cause of lung cancer, and reinforcing the need for more comprehensive epidemiological analyzes for this population. As the data can reach even higher percentages, as the information is provided by patients, without an available reliability assessment method. Conclusions: Lung cancer in never smokers is a major public health problem and further exploration of its patterns of incidence, etiology and biology is needed.
