The three main sites of cancer from which women in Hull die are lung, breast and
colorectal. Age-specific rates for these three types of cancers are given in section
10.2.2.4, section 10.2.5.4 and section 10.2.3.4 respectively. For all other tumour sites,
mortality is less than 25 women per year in Hull and it is not possible to examine these
cancers in more detail.
