Lung Cancer Statistics

Lung cancer is the third most common cancer in the United States. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States, followed by breast cancer (among women) and prostate cancer (among men). More people in the United States die from lung cancer than any other type of cancer. This is true for both men and women.
