A member asked:
Can any doc tell me what's the age range for getting lung cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
From cancer.org:: Lung cancer mainly occurs in older people. About 2 out of 3 people diagnosed with lung cancer are 65 or older; fewer than 2% of all cases are found in people younger than 45. The average age at the time of diagnosis is about 70.
