En 1999, un total de 23.369 varones fueron diagnosticados en el Reino Unido de cáncer de pulmón, por 24.908 de cáncer de próstata.
Como causas de este cambio entre los tumores más prevalentes, citan que las tasas de cáncer pulmonar disminuyen debido a que el tabaquismo también se ha reducido entre los varones. Además, existe ahora un mayor uso de pruebas diagnósticas para detectar el cáncer de próstata. Se calcula que este tumor mata cada año a uno 10.000 británicos.
