It will be seen from the foregoing table (comparing the corrected death-rates) that in the
period 1901-5, the City of London (1.10) had the highest cancer death-rate, the lowest death-rates
obtaining in Finsbury and Greenwich (0.84). In the year 1906 Hammersmith (1.15) had the highest
death-rate and Greenwich (0.77) the lowest.
The following tables (a), (b), and (c) show the deaths during 1906 (365 days) in each of the
sanitary districts from cancer at several age-periods under three headings, viz., sarcoma, carcinoma, and
cancer, deaths classified under the last-named term being those for which the information given on the certificate
of death was insufficient to further distinguish them for purposes of classification.
