TI  - Global Patterns of Incidence and Mortality in Lung Cancer
AB  - Objectives: Lung cancer has been the leading cause of cancer mortality, and its incidence is growing throughoutthe world. This study aims to compare the distribution of the six World Health Organization by configural frequencyanalysis (CFA).Methods: The National data (GLOBOCAN 2012) were included in the analysis. Data were analyzed by CFA which is usedfor the analysis of multiway contingency tables.Results: In Africa, East Mediterranean, Europe, and Southeast Asia, lung cancer incident cases were observed to behigher than expected. Under the years <70, in Africa, East Mediterranean, Europe, and Southeast Asia, lung cancer mortality is significantly underrepresented and therefore antitypes. Here, lung cancer mortality was observed lower thanexpected. In the more developed regions, lung cancer incident cases and mortality were significantly overrepresentedin almost all age groups in both male (years <55) and female, but in the less developed regions, it was significantlyunderrepresented in almost all age groups.Conclusion: The majority of the global lung cancer burden occurred in the more developed countries. If the currentsituation remains unchanged, incidence and mortality may continue to increase.
