APC, annual percent change; .aOverall survival of patients with lung cancer were extracted from overall mortality rates in the National Death Registry of Taiwan, and the relative survival rates were estimated using the life table method. bThe end year in one-year survival is 2014, the end year in three-year survival is 2012, and the end year in five-year survival is 2010.
