The previous addresses of two persons who died in Isleworth
Infirmary were not ascertained.
It is impossible to state accurately the relative prevalence of
the disease in the different wards unless we know the age constitution
of the population in each ward. The area and the figures
are too limited to draw any conclusions, but it is a curious fact
that the South-Eastern portion of the district year after year shows
a lower death-rate from the disease than that of the rest of the district,
inasmuch as it is generally held that cancer is more prevalent
in low-lying districts.
13 Deaths were of males and 33 of females. Deducting 16
of the deaths in females, which were due to cancer of the reproductive
and generative organs, the preponderance of females is
not very marked.
The seat of the disease was as follows:—
Uterus 10
Breast 5
Stomach 8
Bowels 5
Liver 7
Throat and Neck 4
Panereas 2
Hip, Larynx, Kidney, Ovary,
Cerebellum, 1 each.
