Abstract [Purpose] To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of lung cancer in 2020 and the trend from 2012 to 2020 in Hubei Province. [Methods] Qualified lung cancer registry data reported by 29 tumor registries in Hubei Province was utilized to estimate the number of new lung cancer cases and deaths, incidence and mortality, constituent ratio, cumulative rate of 0-74 years old and other indicators of lung cancer in urban and rural areas, genders, age groups in 2020. We analyzed the trend, annual change percentage (APC) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of incidence and mortality of lung cancer in cancer registration areas of Hubei Province from 2012 to 2020. [Results] In 2020, the estimated number of new lung cancer cases in Hubei Province was 41531, accounting for 23.17% of all new cancer cases. The incidence was 72.13/105, with the ASIRC of 38.19/105 and ASIRW of 42.75/105 respectively. The cumulative incidence (0~74 years old) was 4.82%.The estimated number of lung cancer deaths in Hubei Province in 2020 was 31374, accounting for 29.52% of all cancer deaths. The mortality is 54.49/105, with the ASMRC of 27.66/105 and ASMRW of 31.95/105, respectively. The cumulative mortality (0~74 years old) was 3.36%.The incidence of lung cancer was higher in urban areas than it in rural areas, and higher in men than it in women. The incidence and mortality of lung cancer increase with age, and reaching the peak at 75~and 80-85 years old respectively. From 2012 to 2020, the overall trend of lung cancer crude incidence and mortality in Hubei Province was stable. The ASIRC showed a slow decline (APC=-1.76%, 95% CI: -3.30%~1.03%) in 2012-2018 and increase trend (APC=3.33%, 95% CI: 0.61%~5.02%) in 2018-2020, respectively, while ASMRC showed a significant decrease trend (APC=-3.00%, 95% CI: -6.58%~-1.13%) in 2016-2020. [Conclusion] The incidence and mortality levels of lung cancer in Hubei Province were relatively high, resulted in a heavy disease burden and no significant downward trend. In the future, we should continue to strengthen the comprehensive prevention and treatment of lung cancer, and promote lung cancer screening and early diagnosis and treatment for target populations vigorously, especially in rural areas. |
