1. Most Common Causes of Cancer Death in Males
Average Percentages and Numbers of Deaths, by Age, UK,
For the age group, data in this chart do not sum to the all cancer deaths combined total provided elsewhere,
because 'Brain, other CNS (central nervous system) and intracranial' includes tumours that are malignant, benign
and of uncertain or unknown behaviour but only the malignant tumours are included in 'all cancers combined' total.
Percentages may not sum to 100% due to rounding. SNS: Sympathetic nervous system. Brain tumours: brain,
other central nervous system (CNS) and intracranial tumours, including malignant, benign and uncertain or
unknown behaviour tumours.  Children: proportion of deaths in children previously diagnosed with cancer,
, Great Britain. Teenagers and young adults: connective tissue is used as the nearest available proxy in
ICD-10 coding for soft tissue sarcoma (STS), and is likely an underestimate of STS deaths.
