Key figures
Each figure carries its unit, period and source; ranks link to "Why this rank?".
No registry-level ancestor: burden figures are published for the mutually exclusive top-level site groups only, and this entity does not descend from one. Global figures (IARC / GLOBOCAN) stay under license review and SEER awaits credentials.
