Deaths by cancer

1. In general, most of the deaths caused by cancer are unspecified. However, leading the rest of the pack is tracheal cancer, tumors, breast cancer, and prostate cancer. More information about the unspecified cancers would need to be known to draw a conclusion from this graph.

2. The unspecified cancers have been removed to give a clearer visualization about the types of cancers that caused people's deaths. Tracheal cancer clearly caused more deaths than any other cancer, generally increasing from 2000 to 2006, going down in 2008.

3. When we break it down into males and females, men died from tracheal cancer far more than women did. In addition, men died from prostate cancer and bile duct cancer more than women, and women died from breast cancer more than men. They were relatively equally affected by ovary and pancreas cancer.

4. As time moves forward, more people appear to die from cancer, with male deaths by cancer increasingly slightly faster than females deaths by cancer.

5. It appears that approximately the same number of deaths were caused by each respective type of cancer. Only the amount of death by tracheal cancer has slightly increased.
