It doesn't compare directly to the male category because there is no male category listed.

Quite a bit of interesting information on display to be sure, but with 20% of the chart displaying information that excludes one of the two things being compared, it's not a good representation of what the title suggests.

On a chart showing male female disparity for types of cancer, ovarian and testicular would be just as irrelevant as the bottom fifth of this admissions chart.

    I am a bit confused. Do you mean they purposely grouped stuff to make it seem like a bigger issue than the cancers you mention?

    In that last sentence of my comment, I was referring to a hypothetical cancer chart, as a comparison to the chart of this post and the inherent uselessness of including information that cannot be experienced by everyone.
