Which type of cancer kills the most men in each country?
Cancer is one of the most common causes of death worldwide. In several countries, it is the most common cause of death. But which cancers cause the most deaths? This map shows the data for men. It presents the most common type of cancer death, based on the cause listed on death certificates, compiled by the WHO Mortality Database. Many countries are not shown as they lack sufficient death registration. Lung cancer is the most common in many countries. In several others, especially in South America, prostate cancer leads. In Iran, stomach cancer, and in Mongolia and Egypt, liver cancer, are the most common. Many of these cancers are preventable. Stomach cancer, for example, has declined almost ten-fold in the last seventy years in the United States thanks to improvements in food safety, hygiene, and antibiotics. Meanwhile, lung cancer death rates have halved since their peak with the fall of smoking.

Inside the Bungled Bird Flu Response, Where Profits Collide With Public Health
When dairy cows in Texas began falling ill with H5N1, alarmed veterinarians expected a fierce response to contain an outbreak with pandemic-sparking potential. Then politics—and, critics say, a key ag...
