Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Epidemiology
· As per DelveInsight’s analysis, the total incident cases of NSCLC in the 7MM were approximately 531,800 cases in 2023; these cases are estimated to increase by 2034.
· Among EU4 countries, Germany accounted for the highest number of NSCLC cases in 2023, whereas Spain accounted for the lowest cases in 2023.
· NSCLC is diagnosed at an advanced stage in nearly 50% of patients. Increased screening and detection have resulted in a concomitant rise in the incidence of Stage I NSCLC and a decline in Stage IV NSCLC.
· Various types of mutations are commonly observed in NSCLC. There is mounting evidence that substantial molecular and clinical heterogeneity exists within oncogenic driver-defined subgroups of NSCLC. The most frequent biomarkers are EGFR in Japan and KRAS in the US and Europe.
· EGFR exon 19 deletions and Exon 21 L858R substitution (sensitizing mutations) account for approximately 80% of EGFR mutations in NSCLC.
· The total incident cases of EGFR Non-small Cell Lung Cancer in the US was ~30,300 in 2023.
· The most frequent KRAS variant observed in NSCLC is G12C. In the United States, KRASG12C is present in ~37% of NSCLC cases.
· In 2023, the total incident cases of NTRK metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer in the 7MM
was around 1,100.

Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Disease Understanding
Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Overview and Diagnosis
Non-small Cell Lung Cancer is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for 81% of all lung cancer diagnoses. Early diagnosis offers the best prognosis for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. However, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and other lung cancers can be difficult to diagnose because these cancers often have symptoms mistaken for common illnesses or the effects of long-term smoking. Because of this, 80% of people diagnosed with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer have already progressed to advanced stages, making it more difficult to treat. If lung cancer is suspected, the physician will recommend imaging tests (CT, PET, or MRI scans) to identify abnormalities in and around the lungs. The physician may also examine a sample of mucus under the microscope.
If these initial tests identify cancer, a lung biopsy can be conducted. A bronchoscopy can also be recommended, allowing the physician to visualize and remove tissue. If lung cancer is confirmed, genetic testing can be done on the lung tissue to identify details about the cancer that can help inform metastatic non-small cell lung cancer treatment.

Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Epidemiology
The Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer epidemiology chapter in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented by total incident cases of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, total incident cases of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer by histology, total cases of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer by stages, total incident cases of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer by genetic mutation/biomarkers, total treated cases of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer by line of therapies in the 7MM covering the United States, EU4 countries (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain) and the United Kingdom, and Japan from 2021 to 2034.
- In the US, in 2023, there were approximately 202,500 new cases of lung cancer (~114,200 in men and ~88,300 in women). About 10–15% of all lung cancers are SCLC, and about 80–85% are Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.
- The three main histological subtypes of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer are Adenocarcinoma, Squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell (undifferentiated) carcinoma. In the United States, approximately 57% of all lung cancers are adenocarcinomas. About 25–30% of all lung cancers are Squamous cell carcinoma. Large cell (undifferentiated) carcinoma makes up around 2% of all lung cancers.
- Among the age-specific contribution, age ≥65 years are affected more by NSCLC than age <65 years. In 2023, there were 138,600 cases of NSCLC in age ≥65 years in the United States.
- In the US, in 2023, there were approximately 110,000 metastatic cases of NSCLC (De novo advanced/metastatic patients and recurrent patients from early stages).
- The two main subtypes of KRAS Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer are KRAS G12C, and KRAS non-G12C (G12V, G12D, G13D, G12R, and others). In the United States, ~22,300 cases comprised of KRAS G12C, and ~38,400 cases comprised of KRAS non-G12C in 2023.
