Incidence rates in women are approaching or surpassing those in men in several countries at younger or middle ages and in recent generations in Europe and Northern America.
“The net result is that incidence rates in women are approaching or surpassing those in men in several countries at younger or middle ages and in recent generations in Europe and Northern America, 18,20,21 forewarning of a relatively higher overall lung cancer burden among women in future decades.”
From Global cancer statistics 2022: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries. (2024) · cites this paper as [20]
The Results report that lung cancer incidence in US women aged 35–54 exceeded that in men by 2015–2019, and the Discussion says this pattern now extends to middle-aged adults. The Methods establish that the data are from US registries; this paper does not support the claim about several countries or Europe. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
