The increase of lung disease is a great concern. Interstitial lung diseases, also known as(IDLs) is one of the most abundant lung diseases. Incident rates were examined of ILDs between 1995 to 2005. Between that time, a total amount of 21,765 patients were tested, and ILD was found in them. Between the times of 1995 and 1998, it decreased 27.14 per 100,000 person- years to 19.36. in 1998 it actually increased, peaking at 34.34 per 100,000 person-years. I don't know about the current percentages, but this just show how serious lung cancer is. It also shows how rapidly it grows as the years increase.
