Lung Cancer in Wisconsin

The Wisconsin Cancer Collaborative has published a new report, Lung Cancer in Wisconsin. The report is based on data provided by the Wisconsin Cancer Reporting System at the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.

Highlights include:

• Lung cancer incidence and mortality in Wisconsin declined significantly in the last decade.
• Lung cancer incidence is declining at a slower pace in Wisconsin compared to the U.S. overall in recent years.
• Men have higher rates of lung cancer than women in general, but particularly at ages 60+ when lung cancer is more often diagnosed.
