For women, the mortality rate has increased for most of the comparators, in particular for
Hull. Hull has one of the highest all age lung cancer mortality rates of all comparators
with only Salford and Middlesbrough having higher rates for 2006-2008. Hull has the 8 th
highest mortality rate for lung cancer for 2006-2008 out of 152 PCTs. Knowsley has the
highest (77 per 100,000 women) mortality rate, followed by Hartlepool, Salford,
Middlesbrough, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, and these together with Sunderland
all have a DSR above 50 per 100,000 women. The lung cancer mortality rate for
England has increased by 3% between 1993-95 and 2006-08, but the rate in Hull has
increased by 14% over the same period. As around 84% of all lung cancer deaths are
directly attributable to smoking (see Table 96), and smoking prevalence in women has
not decreased as much as it has in men over the last few decades, it is not surprising
that the rates in women have not decreased.
