Show LUNG AND BRONCHUS CANCER (ICD-9 Codes: 160-165) (1992 Total Lung and Bronchus Cancer Deaths in Utah = 342) Lung cancer death rates increased in Utah and the nation between 1966 and 1992. Utah is lower than the U.S. in the incidence of disease and the mortality rate due to lung cancer. Utah and the nation have seen increases in the overall incidence rates of lung cancer during the same year (Table 27, Figure 20). Utah's lower death and incidence of disease rates from lung cancer may be largely explained by lower use of tobacco products.1 * Utah Department of Health, Bureau of Health Promotion/Risk Reduction, Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, unpublished report. 1993. pp. 1,4.
