In terms of mortality, the situation is different.
Basically, lung cancer in males is the most important cause of that.
And that's almost everywhere except in Africa where we still have a lot of
liver cancer deaths and some stomach cancer deaths.
In fact 80% of the liver cancer deaths were in developing countries in 2008.
For women we he have in
terms of incidents we have breast cancer which is, marked in blue, light blue.
Basically everywhere in the world except few areas where
the leading cause, leading cancer type in terms of incidence is cervical cancer.
In, if we look at mortality, we have that breast cancer is still the leading
cause in many African, South American, and Asian countries.
But lung cancer is the main cause of death for North America in particular.
In these slides I can give you some figures of what I just said.
in terms of mortality we just saw that for developing
regions for males we have lung, liver, stomach cancer.
They are the main cause of that in cancer.
And in developed regions, we have lung, colorectum and prostate among males.
For women instead, we have breast cancer which is the leading cause
of death in both regions, developed and developing.
And then we have cervical cancer in developing countries, with lung and
colorectum in the relevant countries.
We know also that there are some trends in the mortality,
which are not going the same direction in developing and developed world.
