The epidemiological data collected suggest increasing occurrence of bronchial carcinoma throughout the world. The trend in mortality, and incidence if the latter is explored, reveal, with rare exceptions, a still increasing tendency. Separate evidence is presented from epidemiological surveys which suggest rising risk factor prevalence, above all smoking and occupational exposures. Descriptive and analytical epidemiology may considerably contribute to the fight against cancer, in particular to its prevention. Unfortunately, in many European countries no cancer records are maintained even for the most diseminated malignancy, i.e. bronchial carcinoma.
收集到的流行病学数据表明，支气管癌在全球的发病率呈上升趋势。若对死亡率和发病率（若对发病率进行探究）的趋势进行分析，除个别罕见情况外，其仍呈上升态势。流行病学调查提供的其他证据表明，风险因素的流行率在上升，尤其是吸烟和职业暴露。描述性和分析性流行病学对癌症防治工作，特别是癌症预防工作，可做出重大贡献。遗憾的是，在许多欧洲国家，即使是对最常见的恶性肿瘤，即支气管癌，也未进行癌症记录。
