| Annotation | On average, around 147,000 males and 146,000 females were newly diagnosed with cancer each year in the UK during 2004-2006, corresponding to an incidence rate of 414 and 356 per 100,000 respectively. Around 80,000 males and 74,000 females have died from cancer each year in the UK, corresponding to a mortality rate of 218 and 155 per 100,000 respectively. This report presents the numbers of newly diagnosed cases of cancer (incidence) and deaths from cancer (mortality) in the UK during 2004-06, together with an age-standardised incidence and mortality rates. The report covers all cancers combined (excluding the incidence of non-melanoma skin cancer) and 21 common cancers. Results are given for the UK as a whole and for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Numbers and age-standardised rates have ben calculated as averages over the three year period 2004-2006.
