Long-term trends in cancer-specific mortality in Japan between 1958 and 2022, by sex. Mortality rates for major cancers among males and females, including liver (blue, including both viral- and non-viral-related liver cancer), stomach (orange), pancreatic (grey), lung (yellow), colon (black), breast (light blue), and uterine cancers (green). Liver cancer mortality increased until the early 2000s and subsequently declined, contrasting with continuing increases in mortality from several other major cancers. (Junko Tanaka, et al.
