Temporal Trends in Lung Cancer and Histological Subtype Incidence and Bayesian Projections to 2030 in China: Population-Based Quantitative Study.

BACKGROUND Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death globally, with a significant burden in China, which accounts for more than one-third of the world's new cases and 40% of related mortalities. Despite evidence that low-dose computed tomography screening can reduce mortality, its limited uptake in China...
