anyone know the correct order of cancers in terms of prevalence vs cause of death, male vs female

one thing i read said

male prevalence
1. prostate
2. lung
3. colon
male death
1. lung
2. prostate
3. colon

female
1. breast
2. lung
3. colon
female death
1. lung
2. breast
3. colon

and now i read somewhere else that colon is 1 or 2...for prevalence and death...😕

Everything I've ever read (UWorld, Secrets, etc) or been taught has agreed w/ this, so that's what I'm going with 🙂
