Computed Ranks are competition ranks (ties share a rank). Percentile = share of eligible entities ranked at or below this one in the ranking direction.
"Deadliest" is ambiguous: annual deaths, age-standardized mortality rate, mortality-to-incidence ratio and 5-year survival rank cancers differently. CancerIndex publishes each as a separate metric.

A gap ratio compares registered activity with deaths inside one scope. It is a signal, not a judgement of research quality; trial counts include NCIt descendants, literature counts are query-based per entity.
