Note: “Bold” numbers indicate countries with the highest incidence rate of specific cancer. Incidence rates for breast cancer are related to women only, prostate cancer to men, and other cancers to the average for both men and women. Skin cancer incidence rates are summation for both melanoma and nonmelanoma cases.
