Abstract
What is already known about this topic? The incidence of female lung cancer in China has been rising, whereas the incidence ratio among men and women is declining. The rising trend of female lung cancer is a prominent public health concern for China. What is added by this report? The joint secular trends distribution of the incidence, mortality, and years of life lost (YLLs) due to premature death of lung cancer in Chinese women demonstrated a certain regionality, which implied the risk factors for female lung cancer in China might be different by region. Common determinant risk factors may exist in regions sharing the same joint secular trends. What are the implications for public health practice? The secular trends and the regional pattern of the trends of female lung cancer in China suggested that the prevention and control of female lung cancer should be implemented with targeted regional interventions.

China CDC WeeklyTrends and Regional Distribution Pattern of Female Lung Cancer — China, 1992–2016
This study aimed to explore the secular trends and regional distribution of female lung cancer in China
Joinpoint regression analysis was applied to fit the secular female lung cancer trends of age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR), age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR), and age-standardized years of life lost due to premature death rate (ASYLLR) for the mainland of China including the 31 provincial-level administrative divisions (PLADs) from 1992–2016

ASIR and ASMR all showed increases before 2005, and ASIR slight decreased after increase up to 2005 while the
