2. Figure 1
Trends in lung cancer incidence rate by country, 1980–2011. (A) Increasing trend in both sexes. (B) Rates in males increase but rates in females are relatively stable. (C) A stable trend in both sexes. (D) Rates in males are relatively stable but those in females are decreasing. (E) Rates in males decrease whereas rates in females increase. (F) A decreasing trend in both sexes. The y axis represents incidence rate per 100,000 population per year and is on the log scale; the x axis represents year. Incidence rates have been age-standardized to the World Standard Population.29,30 Trends have been calculated using Joinpoint software, version (National Cancer Institute). Countries are grouped by their most recent trend.

Trends in lung cancer mortality rate by country, 1980–2012. (A) An increasing trend in both sexes. (B) Rates in males are relatively stable but rates in females are increasing. (C) Rates in males decrease whereas those in females increase. (D) Rates in males decrease whereas those in females are relatively stable. (E) A decreasing trend in both sexes. The y axis represents mortality rate per 100,000 population per year and is on the log scale; the x axis represents year.
