IBIS-PH Complete Indicator Profile - Lung Cancer Deaths
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in Utah and the U.S. It is
estimated that lung cancer will be responsible for nearly 29% of all cancer deaths
(approximately 160,390 U.S. deaths) in 2007.
Since nearly 90% of lung cancer deaths are attributed to smoking, public health
efforts to reduce lung cancer focus on tobacco prevention and control.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in Utah and the U.S. In 2009 approximately
159,390 U.S. deaths will be due to lung cancer.
For example, in
2006 (the most recent national data available from SEER), the U.S. lung cancer mortality rate was
53.0 per 100,000 population whereas the Utah lung cancer mortality rate was 23.6 per 100,000
population.
Since nearly 90% of lung cancer deaths are attributed to smoking, public health programs to reduce
lung cancer focus on tobacco prevention and control.

A statistically significant increase in
site-specific cancer was found only for lung cancer during only one time period (1993-1997).
Inhalational exposure to uranium ore has been associated with
lung cancer; however, there is some evidence that the association is due to exposure to
radon (a product of uranium and radium radioactive decay) rather than uranium itself.
Radon exposure indoors has been associated
with lung cancer (ATSDR, 1990b).

This investigation found significant increase of brain cancer during multiple years and lung
cancer during one year from 1973 – 2003.
Although cigarette smoking accounts for the
majority of lung cancer cases, other factors have also been implicated in the etiology of lung
cancer, such as occupational exposure to asbestos (UCR 2000 and Shottenfeld and Fraumeni
1996).
The EPA estimates that the proportion of lung cancers due to air contaminants is about 1% of all
lung cancer deaths per year in the U.S. population with a small proportion due to occupational
exposures (EPA 1990).

Lung Cancer Deaths
In general,
lung cancer mortality rates in Utah’s health districts are closely related to smoking rates; districts with higher
smoking rates have higher lung cancer mortality rates.

Disparities exist when the health status on a given measure in one or more racial/ethnic populations is different from that found statewide. It is a national goal of the U.S. Public Health Service to eliminate health disparities, including those by race and ethnicity. The authors believe that this report will serve as a guide for Utah Department of Health (UDOH) programs and others with an interest in reducing health disparities, so that they may make evidence-based decisions on their priorities and future activities aimed at improving health status in Utah populations. | | External Link: http://health.utah.gov/cmh/data/healthstatus.pdf | | External Link 2: http://health.utah.gov/cmh/ | | Identifier: http://utah.ptfs.com/awweb/guest.jsp?smd=1&cl=all_lib&lb_document_id=31497 | | Show Metadata | | Metadata Record |

Utah consistently achieves the lowest rates of
smoking, incidence of lung cancer, and mortality
from lung cancer in the United States
(Figure 1).
In Utah, there is a positive correlation between
incidence rates for lung cancer and smoking
rates by Utah Health District: lower smoking
rates correspond to a lower incidence of lung
cancer (Figure 4, R2 = 0.835).

4 Exposure to SHS is known to cause
lung cancer in non-smokers, and is also linked to an increased risk for heart disease.
5 It is estimated that the risk of lung cancer is 30% higher in an
adult who lives with a smoker than that of an adult who does not live with a smoker.
