The captions say “breast cancer mortality” so it should mean all-cause deaths per 100k diagnosed with breast CA.

I think mortality by “year of diagnosis” gives some flavor of aggressiveness of disease, which you would lose with mortality by “year of death”.

The mortality (<0.1%/year) in some age groups is too low to be only breast cancer patients. I think the Y-axis is labeled correctly (i.e., breast cancer deaths per 100K, it's the X-axis that's wrong/inconsistent.
