According to the analysis conducted by the agency, the number of cases in women will exceed the number of cases in men between 2022 and 2024.
This year, 27 thousand 332 cases in women and 27 thousand 172 cases in men are expected to be diagnosed.
In the forecast made by the experts, it is also stated that this difference in the number of cases between women and men will continue to increase until 2040.
Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related death in the UK. But the symptoms of the disease are usually not apparent until the later stages, when the disease has spread far enough and treatment is less effective.
