Description
Mingfeng Wei and co-authors present a 2026 study of lung cancer deaths in the United States from the end of the 1990s to 2023. They use a national death database and break rates down by age, sex, race, and place. Their aim is to see who has gained most and where gaps remain.
Death rates fell by nearly half over the span. Men still die at higher rates than women, but their rates fell faster. Black adults had the highest rates yet also a fast fall, while Hispanic adults had the lowest rates. Cities improved faster than rural areas. One state, Kentucky, still stood far above the rest in the final year.
