Years of life lost (YLL) values in the United Kingdom versus the United States. Presents the YLL burden values for the United Kingdom on the Y-axis compared to a recent report of the same cancer types for the United States [10]. Both data analysis are based on 2010 values. The dotted diagonal line indicates equal proportional YLL values in the two countries and residuals from this line indicate types of cancer for which the societal burdens differ. Not all 26 cancer types are represented due to less comprehensive data for the United States data set.
