Abstract
Lung cancer exhibits diverse patterns of incidence, prevalence, and clinical attributes, influenced by geographical and demographic factors. This study delves into the gender- and age-specific clinico-epidemiological profile of lung cancers in Central India. Specifically, it analyzes gender-segregated incidence rates, provides insight into the age groups most affected by this malignancy, and presents age-wise distribution of lung cancer cases. By synthesizing existing research, this review facilitates a nuanced understanding of lung cancer trends in the region and offers guidance for future research and healthcare initiatives.
