Lung cancer statistics

Smoking is the principal cause of lung cancer; it is estimated to be responsible for 85 per cent of all types of this cancer.

The Second Expert Report Panel judged that there was convincing evidence that arsenic in drinking water and beta-carotene supplements increase the risk of lung cancer. Consuming fruits, and also foods containing carotenoids, probably protect against this cancer.

The countries with the top 20 highest incidence of lung cancer in 2012 are given in the tables below.
