Malignant Diseases: Cancer.
The deaths from the various forms of malignant new growths decreased from 152 in 1900 to
148 last year. The recorded deaths were, however, 15 in excess of the average for the decennium,
23 in excess of the average for the five years 1891-95, and 5 in excess of that for the five years
1896-1900. Increases were recorded in each of the Sub-Districts, but in St. Mary last year's
deaths (94) were 3 less than the annual average for the second quinquennium (97). (See Table 25.)
The deaths from “cancer” have not in previous reports been tabulated for the Wards. The figures and rates for 1901 are as below:—
