Thank you for adding cancer death rates by nation-year-gender in Gapminder World!
Please also add 1) a summary measure like all sites but lung (the second listed on the iarc/WHO site you downloaded from) or all sites to the list of cancer data series options and 2) upload similar cancer and other cause-specific mortality data time-series by US state-year-gender and ideally separately by race or race/ethnicity available from http://seer.cancer.gov/canques/mortality.html
or

Thank you for the insights you offer!
