What about cervical cancer? is that included in the ovarian group? Or is it now insignificant in the US due to early detection? My mother lost her battle with cancer 22 years ago at the tender age of 56.

Cervical cancer is separate -- Maybe I'll do a post on the sex-distinct cancers, or sex-related trends in cancer next.

Obviously prostate cancer deaths are male, ovarian cancer deaths are female, and breast cancer deaths are mostly female (though some male). But there are some other trends not shown here that I'd like to follow.

But I'd also like to show by age. Hmmm. Well, lots of cancer for cancer week.....
