Death Rate Constant
Just as the cancer mortality rata
has remained relatively .constant
over the years so—with' one or
two notable exceptions—has' the
death rate for various sites. Can-
cer of the stomach, which took
1,913 males during 1954, continues
to be the most deadly type for
that sex while cancer of the breast l
caused the most female deaths
(1,752).
Deaths due to 'leukemia Which
have shown considerable increase
over the past years, numbered 764
in 1954. Of these, •143 or more than,
18% were children under the 4g4
of ten years. In . face," caiicer of - many 'different types Struck chil-
dren during,tir year to the extent•
that this disease accounted for
more children's deaths than any
other cause except accidents.

Statistics figures for that year
won't be .released for some time,
the estimate of 20,000 is a OM
serVatiVe one considering that the
total cancer deaths of 19,691 for
1954 was an increase of 571 over
the previous year,
The increase, Society executive
director Dr: H. M, Taylor points
out; is not clue to an increase in
the cancer death rate (129,8 per
100,000 of population in 1954)
Which remains fairly -stable over
the years, but in the increase in
population from 15,108,090 .in 1954
to 15,573,000 in 1955. At .a.pproxi-
m.atelyt), the same rate . of 1irt.crease,
final figures for last year- will al-
most certainly -show more than
20,000 .cancer deaths,
The number of males who died
of cancer during 1954 (10,560) was
slightly excess of the number of
females (9,134). In this respect
there has been a change over the
past -fifteen years,- Between 1941
and. 1954 the •Canadian -cancer
death rate for men increased by
10,5% from 119,6 per 100,000 pOpu-
lation to 130.9; While during the
same period the cancer death rate
for Canadian- women decreased by
5.2% from 122,5 per 100,000 to 116.7.
