Lung Cancer Awareness Toolkit - Cancer Control TAP

About the Lung Cancer Awareness Toolkit

We would like to acknowledge and thank our co-branding partners for their contributions to this project:

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “more people in the United States die from lung cancer than any other type of cancer.”^[1] Lung cancer screening recommendation has evolved over the past 10 years and messaging is needed to increase normalcy of routine lung cancer screenings, in addition to continued messaging on avoiding commercial tobacco and radon mitigation. Although the number of screening facilities in the United States has increased, screening uptake has been slow.

Data and Statistics

In 2021, the latest year comprehensive incidence data are available, 209,500 new lung cancers were reported in the U.S. and in 2022, 131,888 people died from lung cancer^[2]. In 2021, for every 100,000 people, 49 new lung and bronchus cancer cases were reported.^[3] For every 100,000 people, 30 people died of lung and bronchus cancer in 2022–the highest death rate of cancers in the U.S.^[4] Because of health service disruptions throughout 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, cancer screening, diagnosis, and central cancer registry reporting may be delayed and artificially reduced.

Lung cancer incidence and mortality rates vary by region, states and within states. Lung cancer affects people from all backgrounds. Use the National Cancer Institute’s State Cancer Profiles interactive tool to customize messages to align communications with geographic location data for populations who experience disproportionate burdens and needs related to lung cancer.^[5]

Screening with annual low-dose CT scans can reduce the lung cancer death rate by up to 20% by detecting tumors at early stages when the cancer is more likely to be curable. Lung cancer screening has saved 80,000 additional years of life leading to $40 million in savings, which would increase to 500,000 additional years of life and $500 million if all those eligible had been screened.^[6] For screening to be most effective, more high-risk people should be screened annually—currently screening rates remain low among those at high risk. Nationally, only 18% of eligible individuals are up to date with their lung cancer screening.^[7]

*Note about terminology: Here we report statistics the way in which they are reported in our source references, while emphasizing their limitations. Data are currently reported as binary sex data (male or female) and ignore gender and sex characteristic differences that make up the intersex spectrum, making it difficult to explain differences across gender and sexual orientations. While the latest North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR) data dictionary includes multiple options beyond sex variables, the field may be underused or underreported. We advocate for systematic collection of sex assigned at birth, gender identity, sexual orientation, and intersex status to inform and advance evidence-based guidelines. We use gender-neutral language when possible. Until better data are available, it is reasonable to assume sex and gender are conflated in most data sources.

Best Practices for Communicating About Lung Cancer

Promote patient-healthcare team discussions of lung cancer risk

Lung cancer risk factors include smoking, secondhand smoke exposure, radon, and other environmental exposures (e.g. asbestos, pollution).^[8] Advocate for comprehensive smoke-free air policies, radon mitigation, and workplace protections to mitigate exposures.
Health care professionals should use every opportunity to educate and ask patients in a culturally appropriate way about their smoking history and determine if someone meets the eligibility criteria for screening.
Familial history of lung or other cancers may increase risk for lung cancer.^[9] Encourage patients to discuss family history with their primary care doctor.
Having a family history of lung cancer is associated with a higher perceived risk of lung cancer among people who currently smoke or used to smoke. This can influence a person’s willingness to pursue lung cancer screening.^[10] Provide the public with information about the link between family history and lung cancer risk.
Radon exposure is the leading cause of lung cancer for people who have never smoked.^[11] It is estimated that about 20,000 to 40,000 people who do not smoke get lung cancer each year, with 2,900 cases estimated to be associated with radon.^[12] Advocate for radon mitigation, especially in areas where radon is known to be elevated.

Provide information about lung cancer screening and promote screening to people who are recommended to be screened

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends yearly lung cancer screening with low-dose computed tomography (also called a low-dose CT scan, or LDCT) for people who have a 20 pack-year or more smoking history, smoke now or have quit within the past 15 years and are between 50 and 80 years old.^[13] Pack-years are the number of packs (20 cigarettes) smoked daily, multiplied by the average number of years smoked. For example, a person could have a 20 pack history if the person smoked 1 pack a day for 20 years or 2 packs a day for 10 years. Encourage people who meet screening eligibility to be screened for lung cancer.
Provide culturally appropriate information in plain language in recipients’ preferred language.^[14]
Promote adherence to annual screening by reminding individuals of the importance of lung cancer screening.^[15] Educating people lung cancer screening is not a one-time event, but something to be done routinely.

Provide information about long-term care and survivorship issues in addition to treatment information

Provide survivors of lung cancer with survivorship services and resources, such as tobacco cessation services, physical activity support, weight management support, elimination or moderation of alcohol consumption, appropriate vaccinations, other regular cancer screenings and pain management.^[16]
Promote patient-clinician discussion of palliative care options throughout treatment. ^[17] The introduction of palliative care early during treatment may prolong survival and improve quality of life for patients with advanced lung cancer.^[18]

Remind healthcare professionals about the importance of communication and its effect on patients’ quality of life

Reduce cancer information overload in your communication strategy by orienting patients and survivors to reliable sources and culturally relevant support aids. ^[19]
Promote interpersonal aspects of communication and shared decision-making processes between healthcare professionals and people who could benefit from lung cancer screening.^[20]
Educate clinicians to improve awareness of implicit bias. People who are black and other marginalized groups continue to face barriers to accessing high quality, patient-centered care, specifically relating to specialty care, medical tests, and patient-clinician communication. ^[21]

Address and combat stigma often associated with a lung cancer diagnosis

Stigma is rooted in attributes, characteristics, or behaviors that devalue individuals or groups: it can be perceived or felt, which can result in groups and individuals internalizing guilt or shame. Stigma can negatively impact screening behaviors and increase psychological distress. ^[22]
Tailor messages to address stigma and social barriers to lung cancer screening. People who smoke may feel blame or stigma during clinical encounters.^[23] Messages should be empathic and stigma-reducing.
Normalize lung cancer screening, especially annual lung cancer screening even when initial screens are negative and normal. Pair lung cancer screening education with other cancer screening messages. Remind people that screening supports early detection of multiple cancers, which can optimize survival and health outcomes of those diagnosed at an earlier stage of disease.^[24]
Encourage screening through a ‘gain’ frame rather than ‘loss’ frames to help balance fear of lung cancer screening.^[25]
- Don’t wait until it’s too late can be rephrased to: Take action now
- Stop harming yourself. Stop Smoking can be rephrased to: Start living. Stop Smoking.
- In addition to the physical benefits of quitting smoking, it can also have a positive impact on one’s social life. This can be rephrased to: In addition to the negative physical effects of smoking, it can have a negative impact on one’s social life.

Special Recommendations for Healthcare Professionals

Clinicians should avoid stigmatizing the illness.^[26] Refer to the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer’s (IASLC) Language Guide on best practices. ^[27]
Provide high-quality shared decision-making support which includes leaving time for open-ended questions to patients to increase screening uptake and tobacco cessation.^[28]
Consider alternative risk-based screening methods, like the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial 2012 (PLCOm2012) model, to reduce disparities in lung cancer screenings for people who are Black and other diverse groups. ^[29]
Integrate patient navigators within lung cancer screening programs to increase screening use and adherence. Patient navigators can assist people with barriers to lung cancer screening and have unique relationships with patients to overcome mistrust or fear about getting screening. ^[30]
Initiate the discussion on lung cancer screening describing the benefits and risks of lung cancer screening for eligible people. Don’t assume someone knows what a pack year is, or about eligibility criteria. ^[31]
Use CDC planning guides to implement evidence-based interventions to increase lung cancer screenings including patient reminders, structural barrier reduction, and provider reminders.
Address the need for shared decision-making for someone before they receive lung cancer screening, including decision aids, information about the importance of adherence to lung cancer screening , and tobacco cessation support.
Develop and use culturally sensitive shared decision-making aids to reduce inequities in lung cancer screening and adherence. ^[32]

Communicating with Diverse Audiences

Cancer health disparities are complex and affected by various factors, including social determinants of health, behavior, biology, and genetics.^[33] Overlap of these factors, referred to as intersectionality, can lead to many people experiencing multiple forms of marginalization. Tailor information for those who are disproportionately affected by lung cancer.

Lung cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in Black and African American people.^[34] For Black males, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death, and for Black females, the second leading cause of cancer-related death. ^[35]

While lung cancer incidence is similar between Americans who are White or Black, with incidence approximately 55 per 100,000 people in both populations, people who are Black are more likely to present with more advanced disease and have lower 5-year survival rates than people who are White.^[36] People who are Black are less likely to be diagnosed with lung cancer at an early stage compared to people who are White.^[37] People who are Black may experience more stigma and medical discrimination, medical mistrust and suboptimal communication in oncology settings.^[38]

People who are Black are less likely to receive low-dose CT screening for lung cancer and are more likely to experience delays in follow-up care.^[39] They are also less likely to return to annual screening for lung cancer and experience higher rates of loss to follow-up in clinical settings.^[40]

How to use this information: Tailor annual lung cancer screening recommendations for people who are Black and African American. Deepen outreach initiatives and education about the importance of lung cancer screening adherence every year and provide information on accessible and affordable screening options. Combat clinician bias and lack of knowledge about persons who are Black by providing additional resources for clinicians.

Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death for Hispanic and Latino males and the second most common cause of cancer death for Hispanic and Latina females.^[41] People who are Hispanic or Latine and have lung cancer are less likely to receive treatment for their cancer compared with people who are White.^[42]

People who are Hispanic or Latine in the U.S. have the lowest rates of health insurance and may experience discrimination, language barriers, limited health proficiency, and lack of access to healthcare and cancer screening.^[43] People who are underinsured or without health insurance may postpone or forgo recommended annual cancer screenings.^[44]

How to use this information: Provide culturally competent and health literate educational materials on eligibility criteria for lung cancer screening. Advocate and provide free screening for people who are underinsured and uninsured. Provide patient navigation to help people who are Hispanic or Latine get appropriate lung cancer screening.

Cancer is the leading cause of death in people who are Asian, unlike heart disease for all other groups.^[45] Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer related death in people who are Asian American.^[46] Those who are Asian American are less likely to be screened for cancers compared to other racial groups in the U.S. ^[47]

People who are Asian American are less likely to be diagnosed early with lung cancer compared to people who are White.^[48] Studies have found high rates of lung cancer among never-smoking women who are Asian American. ^[49] People who are Asian American tend to have a higher prevalence of epidermal growth factor receptors, a genetic mutation that can cause non-small cell lung cancers without smoking histories.^[50] Some Asian American communities are also disproportionately affected by environmental risk factors for lung cancer, including carcinogenic hazardous air pollutants. ^[51]

Health data for people who are Asian American tends to be aggregated together, masking significant health disparities in cancer outcomes among subgroups.

How to use this information: Tailor communications to improve health literacy for people who are Asian American. Communicate with people who are Asian American that they have higher risks of lung cancer, regardless of smoking histories. Disaggregate Asian American health data to include Asian American subgroups. ^[52]

Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death for men who are Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander, and the second most common cause for females who are Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander. ^[53] People who are Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander suffer worse cancer outcomes compared with people in other ethnic groups. ^[54] These communities tend to experience higher rates of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and lung cancer when compared to other groups. ^[55] Data about people who are Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander are often aggregated with the Asian American community, masking significant health disparities.

Studies have found higher rates of lung cancer among females who are never-smoking Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander compared to people who are White. ^[56]

How to use this information: Communicate with people who are Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander that they may have higher risks of lung cancer, regardless of smoking histories. Disaggregate Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander data to improve understanding of disparities across populations and inform future evidence-based interventions.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of death in people who are American Indian or Alaska Native. ^[57] Various social determinants of health affect this group, including healthcare status and regional access to cancer care. Research suggests that people who are American Indian or Alaska Native experience lower survival rates of lung cancer compared to people who are White and a 12% higher rate of lung cancer incidence. Lung cancer may also occur at younger ages and be detected at more advanced stages in this group. ^[58]

People who are American Indian or Alaska Native have the highest prevalence of smoking compared to other populations, but little research has focused on lung cancer screening using low-dose CT in these communities. ^[59]

Communities may be aware of lung cancer risk factors and may also experience medical mistrust. ^[60]

How to use this information: Lung cancer interventions and commercial tobacco cessation outreach for people who are American Indian or Alaska Native should be culturally tailored to reduce barriers to accessing low-dose CT. ^[61]

People who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Queer, Transgender, Intersex and Asexual (LGBTQIA+) often experience discrimination in healthcare settings and minority stress that may heighten cancer risk. ^[62] People who are LGBTQIA+ are more likely to smoke commercial tobacco compared to adults who identify as heterosexual and cisgender due to persistent targeted marketing from tobacco companies.^[63] Individuals who are LGBTQIA+ are more likely to delay seeking healthcare and may experience stigma and discrimination in healthcare settings.^[64]

How to use this information: Meaningfully consult with relevant communities while designing strategic campaigns and communication initiatives to increase individuals who identify as LGBTQIA+ use of lung cancer screening. ^[65] Combat clinician-bias and lack of knowledge about population specific needs by providing additional resources for clinicians. ^[66]

Use gender-neutral language, when possible. Current data is collected on reported sex (based on only two options: male or female) and does not necessarily correlate with the gender identity of those affected by cancer. Ensure language is inclusive; reflect the words used by your patients to refer to themselves as terminology evolves and varies across communities.

People who live in rural areas are disproportionately affected by lung cancer. Rural areas often have fewer healthcare facilities and specialists which can limit screening access, delaying early diagnosis and treatment. ^[67] The distance to healthcare facilities and lack of reliable transportation in rural areas can further complicate access to screening and follow-up care. ^[68]

Studies have demonstrated fundamental barriers to lung cancer screening for people living in rural areas including a lack of knowledge about lung cancer screening, not receiving information or screening recommendations from healthcare clinicians, and lack of transportation to screening. ^[69] Many people may also fail to return for recommended screenings because of prior negative or false positive screening results. ^[70]

How to use this information: Provide educational resources about lung cancer screening and the importance of returning for annual screening. Design communication programs that disseminate resources and address needs of individuals who live in rural areas, including telehealth services, mobile screening, or transportation assistance programs.

Socioeconomic disparities worsen barriers to lung cancer screenings. People with annual incomes of less than $12,500 have higher rates of lung cancer. ^[71] Those experiencing extreme poverty have higher lung cancer risks than those in higher socioeconomic positions. ^[72] People with lower incomes also may have higher rates of other tobacco-related diseases and other medical comorbidities like diabetes and cardiovascular disease, further increasing their financial burden. ^[73]

People who are socioeconomically disadvantaged are more likely to smoke commercial tobacco, however individuals who smoke and who have lower incomes are less likely to be aware of effective tobacco cessation treatments.^[74]

People facing poverty and lower incomes experience the highest mortality rates from non-small cell lung cancer. ^[75] Lung cancer screening tends to be underused by eligible people who currently smoke or used to smoke, especially those with lower incomes and education, possibly contributing to non-small cell lung cancer mortality rates in these groups. ^[76]

How to use this information: Provide information about lung cancer screening eligibility in easy-to-understand language. Health literacy may be limited for people with lower income levels and less education. Tailor and customize shared decision-making tools for these groups. ^[77]
