Incidence, trend, and outcome of bronchogenic carcinoma in Olmsted County, Minnesota, 1935--1974.
The 40-year incidence trends of bronchogenic carcinoma in Olmsted County, Minnesota, are presented and analyzed. The incidence in men has risen rapidly with each decade. During the last decade this increase was due to an increase of the rate among men over 65, rates in men under 65 appearing to have plateaued. The incidence in women increased for the first time in the decade 1965 to 1974. During the period 1935 through 1974, rates for all cell types increased in men, with that for squamous cell carcinoma increasing most. In women the recent overall increase was due mainly to an increase of adenocarcinoma, which has been the predominant cell type in women throughout. Among all cases together the 5-year survivorship was 11%, which comprised 24% for squamous cell carcinoma, 11% for large cell carcinoma, 12% for adenocarcinoma, and 0 for small cell carcinoma.
