Figure 200 compares the percentages of cancer deaths for men by tumour site of
cancer between England and Hull for the period 2006-2008. Skin cancer includes
malignant melanomas. The biggest differences between England and Hull, also
illustrated in the pie charts, are for lung cancer. One quarter of all cancer deaths in
England are due to lung cancer, but one-third in Hull. Men in Hull have slightly lower
percentages of cancer deaths due to prostate cancer.

Cancer site
The three main sites of cancer from which men from Hull die are lung, colorectal and
prostate. Age-specific rates for these three cancer sites are given in section 10.2.2.4,
section 10.2.3.4 and section 10.2.4.4 respectively. For all other tumour sites, mortality
is less than 25 men per year in Hull and it is not possible to examine these cancers in
more detail.
For female cancer deaths registered between 2006 and 2008, the tumour sites are
illustrated in Figure 201 for England and Figure 202 for Hull (with comparison between
England and Hull illustrated in Figure 203). The data comes from the Compendium
(based on total number of deaths for all the cancer causes listed on the Compendium),
and the total number of deaths over the three year period are given (for all ages). The
underlying data are given in the APPENDIX on page 913.
