CDC - Lung Cancer Rates by Race and Ethnicity
Lung Cancer Rates by Race and Ethnicity
The rate of people getting lung cancer or dying from lung cancer varies by race and ethnicity.
Incidence Rates by Race/Ethnicity and Sex
"Incidence rate" means how many people out of a given number get the disease each year. The graph below shows how many people out of 100,000 got lung cancer each year during the years 1999–2008. The year 2008 is the most recent year for which numbers have been reported. The lung cancer incidence rate is grouped by race and ethnicity.
For example, you can see that 2008, black men had the highest incidence rate for lung cancer. White men had the second highest rate of getting lung cancer, followed by white women and black women.
Lung and Bronchus Cancer
Incidence Rates* by Race/Ethnicity and Sex, U.S., 1999–2008
Incidence source: Combined data from the National Program of Cancer Registries as submitted to CDC and from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results program as submitted to the National Cancer Institute in November 2010.
*Rates are per 100,000 persons and are age-adjusted to the 2000 U.S. standard population (19 age groups – Census P25-1130). Incidence rates cover approximately 100% of the U.S. population.
†Hispanic origin is not mutually exclusive from race categories (white, black, Asian/Pacific Islander, American Indian/Alaska Native).
Death Rates by Race/Ethnicity and Sex
From 1999–2008, the rate of people dying from lung cancer has varied, depending on their race and ethnicity. The graph below shows that in 2008, black men were more likely to die of lung cancer than any other group. White men had the second highest rate of deaths from lung cancer, followed by American Indian/Alaska Native men and white women.
Lung and Bronchus Cancer
Death Rates* by Race/Ethnicity and Sex, U.S., 1999–2008
Mortality source: U.S. Mortality Files, National Center for Health Statistics, CDC.
*Rates are per 100,000 persons and are age-adjusted to the 2000 U.S. standard population (19 age groups – Census P25-1130). Death rates cover 100% of the U.S. population.
