cancer mortality
Malignancy death rate
Cancer mortality refers to deaths caused by cancer, typically expressed as a rate per population over a given time period.
Public health researchers track cancer mortality to measure disease burden and evaluate treatment effectiveness: Lung cancer mortality has declined since antismoking campaigns began.
The term appears in medical literature and health policy discussions, distinct from cancer incidence, which measures new diagnoses rather than deaths.
