Objectives  This study aims to describe time trends of epidemiologic characteristics and imaging features over 14 years among histologically confirmed lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) in China and to discuss the possible reasons for these changes.    Materials and Methods  Data of 21,113 pathologically confirmed lung cancer patients from January 1999 to December 2012 were analyzed retrospectively. Preoperative high-resolution computer tomography (HRCT) images were available and reviewed in 5,439 lung ADC patients since 2005. Time trends of the ADC proportion of lung cancer cases, gender distribution, age at diagnosis, the proportion of early-stage ADC and imaging features were investigated.    Results  The proportion of ADC increased during the 14 years ( P  = 0.000). The ratio of female to male ADC cases was higher than both squamous cell carcinoma (SQCC) and total lung cancer cases ( P  = 0.000). The median age at diagnosis of ADC patients was younger than that of both SQCC and total lung cancer during the 14 years ( P  = 0.000). The proportion of age group 45–59 years increased in total lung cancer cases ( P  = 0.000). When stratified by lung cancer histopathologic subtypes, this trend was also observed in ADC ( P  = 0.001) and SQCC ( P  = 0.007). The proportion of early-stage cases of ADC increased from 2008 to 2012 ( P  < 0.001). The proportion of subsolid nodules (SSN) in ADC increased ( P  = 0.001) from 2005 to 2012.    Conclusion  The data suggests that the proportion of ADC increased from 1999 to 2012 especially in middle-aged, female patients; early-stage ADC and SSN on HRCT images gradually increased, which may have been caused by a change in smoking habits and increased application of HRCT.
