David Elliott Lewis, Ph.D. the reason you dont see countries from the 3rd world, like Africa, is because of at least two reasons.
First there life expectancy might be very low and cancer usually shows up in mid to late in life. So people die before cancer gets to them.
Secondly, and more importantly for a list like this is the ability to count the people with cancer. Cancer rates may be very high in an African country but if the people don't know they have it or can not report it due to lack of hospital facilities and/or possibly government interference. The poor souls can't be counted and thus will never show up on a list. |

5,350.7 deaths per 1.6 MILLION people--it's an additive property. You add the total of deaths AND the total ratio base.
This graph is very badly done and misleading. |

I find it very strange that no countries from Africa, Latin America or Asia (except Japan) are on this list. Why is that? |

I read the graph to indicate the number
of deaths. Fewer deaths in UK than
Norway thus the ranking. |

How are you interpreting the OECD data?
These numbers differ from the OECD Health Data Frequently Requested Data available from their website which you site as the source.

Your graph is badly messed up:
1) Your numbers are backwards. That is, the UK should have the worst numbers, not the best.
2) Austria, for some reason, doesn't sort properly. Even though it's rank is 13th, it sorts out between 3 and 4 instead of 12 and 14.
Please fix it. |

I am looking for cancer statistics specifically for Belize. If there are mortality data, and information, if any, on gender specific cancer types. I am also interested on cancer clustering by geographic location. My contact information is dee.pascascio@yahoo.com or bccdangriga @btl.net
Thanks
