New statistics released by the Canadian Cancer Society show the death rate for all cancers continues to decline for everyone except women over age 70.

But liver cancer, which has a high death rate, has been increasing annually since 1970 by 3.6 per cent for men and 1.7 per cent for women, the society's figures show.

+ T( ?2 O7 ~  u$ ]"This cancer is one of the fastest growing cancer types in Canada with regard to new cases and deaths," says the report's executive summary. "An estimated 1,550 men and 490 women will be diagnosed with liver cancer this year.

"Major risk factors for liver cancer include viral hepatitis infection (hepatitis B and C), smoking, alcohol consumption and obesity."

: V9 ^( [- q4 EThe outlook for those with liver cancer is not good. Four out of five patients diagnosed with the disease die within five years.

The cancer society is encouraging health care providers to offer the vaccine for hepatitis B (there is no hep C vaccine yet) or testing to people in higher-risk groups, including immigrants from areas where hepatitis infection or liver cancer are common, CBC News said.

The report, which uses Statistics Canada and other data, says two in five Canadians will develop some form of cancer in their lifetime and one in four Canadians will die of the disease.

Geographically, Yukon is expected to have the lowest rate of new cancer cases this year, 344.8 per 100,000 population, followed by British Columbia at 362 and Alberta at 371.2.

"Geographic variations in incidence rates may be due to differences in modifiable risk factors, such as unhealthy diet, smoking, obesity and physical inactivity," the report says.

Denmark topped the list at 326.1, with the United States seventh at 300.2 South Africa had the lowest cancer rate at 202.

太难了。没有什么错啊，我只知道一个就是这句话里面应该用a 但是他用了an。对不对啊？

男癌症患病人数增加三倍，女癌症病人，增两倍但是死亡人数减少（70岁以上妇女除外）。
第二个说的3.6%增长数就是从0.9%增三倍过来，1.7%就是从0.85%增两倍得来，没错。

通过再阅读，我认为第一个男性三倍女性两倍的肝癌发生是针对整个癌症发生率来说的，意思是肝癌自1970年以来比其它癌症来说有上升。男性为三倍，女性为两倍。而其他癌症有下降趋势。
   而百分率的变化是针对肝癌死亡率而言的，意思是说，肝癌的死亡率很高，自1970年以来每年男性肝癌上升了3.6％，女性肝癌1.6％。
