In 2020, lungs, colorectum and pancreas, were the cancer sites with the highest mortality rate for both genders in Germany, when not taking into account gender-specific sites. In case of gender-specific cancer sites breast cancer had the highest mortality rate for females, with 21,8 cases per 100,000 population, while prostate cancer for males, with a mortality rate of 18.6 per 100,000 population.

Estimated mortality rate in Germany in 2020, by cancer site and gender*
(per 100,000 population)
*per 100,000 persons, age-standardised (old European Standard):
The rates specific to each age group are adjusted based on the proportion of a chosen (imaginary) "standard population" within those age brackets. Next, these adjusted rates are combined across all age groups. The resulting age-standardized rate reflects the number of new cases or deaths per 100,000 individuals in a population with the identical age distribution as the selected standard population.
