Coverage
1 geography with observations
Years covered, distinct cancer entities with at least one observation, and the latest-year figures. Totals across all cancer sites are shown only when the source itself publishes an all-sites row; sites are never summed by CancerIndex.

"Highest annual deaths / new cases" is the top single site group for the latest year of that metric, both sexes, all ages — not a national total. Where a source publishes an all-sites aggregate it is shown instead and labelled "All sites".

Coverage status
Why only these geographies?
CancerIndex publishes population statistics only from sources whose license has been reviewed (CLAUDE.md §10.4). U.S. Cancer Statistics (CDC, NPCR/SEER incidence and NVSS mortality) is approved and ingested. The IARC Global Cancer Observatory (GLOBOCAN), which would provide estimates for 185 countries, is under license review; the SEER API awaits credentials. Until then no country outside the United States has observations, and no global ranking of countries is shown. Estimates are never substituted for registry counts.
