Figure 4. Trends in age-adjusted mortality rates over time for leading cancers (lung, colorectal, stomach, and liver).

Figure 4

Lung, colorectal, stomach, and liver cancers all showed similar decreasing trends in age-adjusted mortality rates (AMRs). However, this decline slowed, and AMRs gradually exceeded the predicted values in 2021 and 2022 for all, except for colorectal cancer. Pancreatic cancer, the fourth leading cause of death, is described later.
