Lung Cancer Statistics

Lung Cancer Statistics

Be honest. When you hear that someone was diagnosed with lung cancer, is your first thought, “I’ll bet they smoked”? You would be amazed to know the number of times Chris was immediately asked, “Did you ever smoke?” His answer: “Never.”

  • 10% to 15% of new lung cancer cases are among never-smokers.

  • 60% to 65% of all new lung cancer diagnoses are among people who have never smoked or are former smokers.
