US life expectancy flattened out over the last 15 years, so I think that means all-cause-mortality is roughly flat per 100,000 too.

Combined with your data, that implies that whatever wins we got from decreased cancer rates (e.g., less smoking) or improved treatment have been squandered elsewhere (probably obesity / heart disease).

If life expectancy had dropped over that time, then I guess it could be that cancer was as deadly as ever.

I wonder what the deal is with Greenland in your dataset. Lots of smoking? Lots of radiation?
