Persistent burden and health inequalities of lung cancer among adolescents and young adults, 1990-2021
While global ASIR, ASDR, and ASMR of lung cancer among AYAs have declined from 1990 to 2021, cross-national health inequality remained elevated and sustained, particularly in wealthier countries. Increased attention needs to be given to the lung cancer burden among AYAs in low- and middle-income countries and among women, while risk factors such as smoking and ambient particulate matter pollution remain critical targets for intervention.
