The Italian Association of Medical Oncology (AIOM) and the Italian Association of Tumor Registries estimated about 41,500 new cases and 33,836 deaths from lung cancer in Italy in 2018,1 with a 5-year survival rate of 16% and a 10-year survival of 12% (11% for men and 15% for women). Currently, lung cancer represents the third most common neoplasm in the overall Italian population (Table 1), and it is the first cause of cancer death in men and the third in females (Table 2), with significant differences observed across the different Italian regions (Fig. 1).

Abstract

The Italian Association of Medical Oncology (AIOM) and the Italian Association of Tumor Registries estimated about 41,500 new cases and 33,836 deaths from lung cancer in Italy in 2018,1 with a 5-year survival rate of 16% and a 10-year survival of 12% (11% for men and 15% for women). Currently, lung cancer represents the third most common neoplasm in the overall Italian population (Table 1), and it is the first cause of cancer death in men and the third in females (Table 2), with significant differences observed across the different Italian regions (Fig. 1).
