This is the latest data available on cancer-related deaths in South Africa.

The age-standardized mortality rate is a weighted average of the age-specific mortality rates per 100 000 persons, where the weights are the proportions of persons in the corresponding age groups of the WHO standard population (WHO. 2022).

The terms used to describe ethnicity are common and acceptable in South Africa.
