This statistic shows the rate of mortality to brain cancer incidence in England in 2016, by region and gender. Cancer of the brain occurs when cells within the brain begin to grow abnormally. In the East Midlands of England in this year, 91 percent of males and 85 percent of females who were diagnosed died as a result of cancer of the brain, this was the highest recorded rate among males.

Supplementary notes

* Information from the source: "Cancer registrations in England can take up to 5 years after the end of a given calendar year to reach 100% completeness, due to the continuing accrual of late registrations. Therefore, published figures for 2016 are likely to increase in future publications when late registrations are included. The 2016 data has been assessed as 98% complete and there are likely to be late registrations provided after this publication."

Cancer mortality to incidence ratios are calculated by dividing the number of deaths by the number of incidences for each given site, sex and region. If the rate exceeds 1, this means that more people died in that period than there were new registrations. The people who died, however, may have been diagnosed in a previous period. In other words, the deaths are not necessarily directly linked to the incidents.

Brain cancer medical term = malignant neoplasm of brain.
