Balazs Halmos, Associate Director for Clinical Science at Montefiore Einstein Cancer Center, shared a post on X:
“Cancer statistics- 2025.
Some lung cancer observations:
1. Continued nice decrease in LC incidence/death rates.
2. BUT probably 1st time in history of cancer stats- more cases in women than men.
3. AND finally we no longer can say – ‘lung cancer causes more deaths than prostate/breast/colon cancer combined’- amazing progress.
(Lung cancer- 124730- colon/breast/prostate- 130840).”
