The conclusion seems reasonable, but it is not. The leading cause of death for both men and women is heart disease and strokes. The life time risk of developing cancer for a man or woman is about 2 in 5. The risk of death from cancer is about 1 in 5. The risk of dying from heart disease and strokes is about 2 in 5.
More women die of ovarian cancer than from uterine and cervical cancer combined.
The leading cause of cancer deaths for women used to be from cancer of the cervix, followed by cancer of the stomach. Both causes have decreased dramatically. The rate of increase in lung cancer deaths in women is beginning to look the same as the rate of increase in lung cancer deaths in men that began in 1940. With the exception of lung cancer the death rates for almost all cancers have either decreased dramatically or remained stable for the past 60 years. There is some indication that most recently the death rates for breast cancer in women and lung cancer in men has peaked and is decreasing.
