Trachea, bronchus, and<unk> s deaths per million persons in 2012<unk> , incidence, mortality, and survival, England 1971–2011 Worldwide,<unk>  is the most common cancer among men for both incidence and mortality, and among women has the third-highest incidence (after breast and colorectal cancers) and second-highest mortality (after breast cancer). In 2020, 2.2 million new cases were found worldwide, and 1.8 million deaths were due to<unk> , representing 18.0% of all deaths from cancer. The highest rates are in Micronesia, Polynesia, Europe, Asia, North America and Europe. Rates in Africa and Central America are much lower. People who have a long history of smoking have the highest risk of developing<unk> , with the risk increasing with duration of smoking. The incidence in men rose until the mid 1980s, and has declined since then. In women, the incidence rose until the late 1990s, and has since been stable. For every 3–4 million cigarettes smoked, one<unk>  death can occur. The influence of "Big Tobacco" plays a significant role in smoking. Young nonsmokers who see tobacco advertisements are more likely to smoke. The role of passive smoking is increasingly being recognized as a risk factor for<unk> , resulting in policy interventions to decrease the undesired exposure of nonsmokers to others' tobacco smoke. From the 1960s, the rates of lung adenocarcinoma started to rise in relation to other kinds of<unk> , partially due to the introduction of filter cigarettes. The use of filters removes larger particles from tobacco smoke, thus reducing deposition in larger airways. However, the smoker has to inhale more deeply to receive the same amount of nicotine, increasing particle deposition in small airways where adenocarcinoma tends to arise. Rates of lung adenocarcinoma continues to rise. United States In the US, both black men and black women have a higher incidence. The lifetime risk of developing<unk>  is 8% in men and 6% in women. Also in the US, military veterans have a 25–50% higher rate of<unk>  primarily due to higher rates of smoking. During World War II and the Korean War, asbestos also played a role, and Agent Orange may have caused some problems during the Vietnam War. United Kingdom<unk>  is the third-most common cancer in the UK (47,968 people were diagnosed with the disease in 2017), and it is the most common cause of cancer-related death (around 34,600 people died in 2018). Other countries<unk>  rates are currently lower in developing countries. With increased smoking in developing countries, the rates are expected to increase in the next few years, notably in both China and India.
