Two measures are used to document cancer deaths. One is mortality incidence, which is the number of deaths, and the other is death rate, which is the mortality rate. The mortality rate is measured in the number of deaths per 100,000 people. This allows us to take a comparative look at the cancer mortality rate in the U.S. compared with that of the rest of the world.

The bulk of annual deaths in the U.S. are caused by 10 cancers. While the mortality rate of some types of cancers is dropping, the mortality rate of others are increasing.

However, that doesn’t mean people who don’t smoke won’t get lung cancer. In fact, 10% to 20% of lung cancers occur in those who never smoked or smoked fewer than 100 cigarettes in their lifetime.

This type of cancer can occur in people of any age, but those who are 65 to 74 years old are at highest risk of dying from the disease. It is also most commonly found in older adults, with over 75% of all cases occurring in those who are 55 and older. However, new cases of colorectal cancer have declined slightly over the past decade among older adults (but rising among people under 50 and those who are 50 to 64).

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in American men, behind only lung cancer. About one man in 41 will die of prostate cancer.

Age is the biggest risk factor when it comes to prostate cancer, and the majority of cases are found in men aged 55 to 74. About six in 10 cases of prostate cancer are found in men older than 65.

Leukemia is the most common cancer among children and teens, accounting for almost one out of three cancers. Most childhood leukemias are acute lymphocytic leukemia.

The exact cause of leukemia is unclear, but risk factors for the disease have been identified such as previous treatment with chemotherapy and smoking.

There are over 30 different types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. They are classified depending on the type of lymphocyte that is implicated in the development of the disease like B-cells and T-cells.

It is much more common in men than women. It is the fourth most common cancer in men. The lifetime risk of having bladder cancer is one in 27 for men and one in 89 for women. Those of Caucasian descent are also more likely to develop bladder cancer than any other ethnicity. The risk of developing bladder cancer increases with age, and about nine out of 10 people with bladder cancer are over 55.

Kidney cancer is twice as common in men than in women. The lifetime risk for developing kidney cancer is about one in 46 for men and one in 80 for women. Black, American Indian, and Alaskan Native populations are more likely to develop this disease than any other ethnicity. The average age of people when they are diagnosed with kidney cancer is 64. This type of cancer is very uncommon in people below 45.
