TLDR
The patterns of historically higher incidence rates of lung cancer among men than among women have reversed among non‐Hispanic whites and Hispanics born since the mid‐1960s, and they are not fully explained by sex differences in smoking behaviors.Abstract:
Background Previous studies showed a higher incidence of lung cancer among young women than among young men in the United States. Whether this pattern has continued in contemporary birth c...read more

TL;DR: The GLOBOCAN 2020 estimates of cancer incidence and mortality produced by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as mentioned in this paper show that female breast cancer has surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, with an estimated 2.3 million new cases (11.7%), followed by lung cancer, colorectal (11 4.4%), liver (8.3%), stomach (7.7%) and female breast (6.9%), and cervical cancer (5.6%) cancers.

TL;DR: The overall cancer death rate dropped continuously from 1991 to 2016 by a total of 27%, translating into approximately 2,629,200 fewer cancer deaths than would have been expected if death rates had remained at their peak.

TL;DR: Slow momentum for some cancers amenable to early detection is juxtaposed with notable gains for other common cancers, and it is notable that long‐term rapid increases in liver cancer mortality have attenuated in women and stabilized in men.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cancer Statistics, 2021.
TL;DR: In the United States, the cancer death rate has dropped continuously from its peak in 1991 through 2018, for a total decline of 31%, because of reductions in smoking and improvements in early detection and treatment as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Women were more likely to be never-smokers than men, particularly those with the squamous/epidermoid-type cancer, and the earlier finding that the ORs for major lung cancer types are consistently higher for women than for men at every level of exposure to cigarette smoke was confirmed.
