AB  - BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: Lung cancer is a significant public health concern in 
      low- and middle-income countries such as India. The present article describes the 
      epidemiology, and clinical profile of lung cancer in India, based on recent data 
      from the National Cancer Registry Programme (NCRP). METHODS: The latest data on 
      lung cancer from the NCRP were collated from 28 population-based cancer 
      registries and 58 hospital-based cancer registries across a five-year (2012-2016) 
      reporting period. RESULTS: The highest age-adjusted incidence rate and mortality 
      (AAMR) was found amongst males and females in the Aizawl district of Mizoram. A 
      significant increase in the annual per cent change of lung cancer incidence was 
      observed in metropolitan cities from 1982 to 2016. About one-third of the cases 
      (36.5%) in males and females (31.7%) were recorded in the age group of 55-64 yr. 
      Adenocarcinoma accounted for about a third (34.3%) of the morphological type in 
      males and half (52.7% ) amongst females. Out of 22,645 recorded lung cancer 
      cases, close to half (44.8%) of the patients presented with distant spread, while 
      over one-third (35.3%) had loco-regional spread of disease at the time of 
      diagnosis. INTERPRETATION & CONCLUSIONS: Our estimates suggest that the number of 
      cases is expected to rise sharply to 81,219 cases amongst males and 30,109 in 
      females in 2025. The rising incidence and delayed diagnosis of lung cancer in 
      India are grave concerns. The findings of the present study call for scaling up 
      and intensification of lung cancer-specific preventive, early diagnosis and 
      control measures.
