Cervical cancer. It kills 300,000 women a year.
(Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, but it is the 2nd deadliest after lung cancer.)

Breast Cancer is #1 in women
Lung Cancer is #2
Colon Cancer #3
Lung Cancer is #1 in people over all, since men tend not to get breast cancer.

Lung cancer is number one cancer killer of women. Women smokers are more susceptible to getting lung cancer than men.
PS - men can get breast cancer too.

In the US...for 2006, 212,920 new cases of breast cancer in women are expected. 81,770 new cases of lung cancer are expected in women. These represent the top two cancers in women in the US.
However, 72,130 women are expected to die of lung cancer this year, and 40,970 women are expected to die of breast cancer. These represent the top two cancer killers for women in the US.

I don't know what #2 is, but breast cancer doesn't kill more women than heart disease does. Heart disease kills more than all types of caners and diseases combined for women.
