Maps of the geographical distribution of these cancers are shown in this volume....Following the map sections of the atlas there is a one-page summary of some features of the deaths from each cancer. These include the numbers of deaths and the death rates per million population by age groups for each sex in tabular and in graphical form for England and Wales as a whole.
