↵* The complete definition of the specific cancers included here can be found in Appendix 1, Supplementary Table 1.
↵† Rates are age-standardized to the 2011 Canadian standard population.
↵‡ Total may not be sum of males and females because of rounding.
↵§ Liver cancer mortality was underestimated because deaths from liver cancer, unspecified (code C22.9 in the International Classification of Diseases, 10th edition), were excluded.
