Annual age-adjusted cancer death rates among (A) men and (B) women for selected cancers. Rates are age adjusted to the 2000 US standard population. Due to changes in International Classification of Diseases coding, numerator information has changed over time. Rates for cancers of the uterus, ovary, lung and bronchus, and colon and rectum are affected by these changes. (Source: US Mortality Volumes 1930 to 1959, US Mortality Data, 1960 to 2007.
