Cancer.
The deaths from cancer, fully corrected for institutions, in the Administrative County of
London during 1911 (52 weeks), numbered 4,746, as compared with 4,563 for the 52 weeks of 1910.

Thedeath-rates from thus disease in successive periods have been as follows:—

1 Period.Death-rate per 1,000 persons living.I • Period.Death-rate per 1,000 persons living.

Cancer
death-rates.
For the purpose of enabling the incidence of cancer on the several populations of the sanitary
districts to be more precisely stated, factors have been calculated for correcting the death-rates, as far
as possible, for differences in the age and sex constitution of the several populations concerned.

These factors are shown in the following table, together with the death-rates for each sanitary district

corrected by their application.(b)
