Lung and Bronchus Cancer Incidence Rate

County: Sussex
Measurement Period: 2017-2021
This indicator shows the age-adjusted incidence rate for lung and bronchus cancers in cases per 100,000 population.

Why is this important?

According to the American Lung Association, more people die from lung cancer annually than any other type of cancer, exceeding the total deaths caused by breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and prostate cancer combined. The greatest risk factor for lung cancer is duration and quantity of smoking. While the mortality rate due to lung cancer among men has reached a plateau, the mortality rate due to lung cancer among women continues to increase. African Americans have the highest risk of developing lung cancer.
