The forecast for hospital discharges for malignant neoplasms of the trachea, bronchus, and lung in the UK predicts a steady decline from 2024 to 2028, with values decreasing from 49.1 in 2024 to 44.1 in 2028 per 100,000 persons. This represents a year-on-year decline, reflecting a trend towards reduced hospital discharges for these conditions.
