How is death rate defined?

Sorry for clumsy English: "Case fatality rate" is the right term.

people who died on cancer (according to death certificate) / all diagnosed cases of cancer (that were properly reported)

By occasion: case fatality rate of over 100% it's a good idea for horror story :D

I didn't find anyone mentioning that there have been many studies that are linking the exposure to electromagnetic frequencies such as wifi, microwaves, cell phones, etc. causes for cancer. And that there are also studies that are showing the cure for cancer can be achieved by implementing treatment with electromagnetic frequencies.

From the US National Cancer Institute:
"Studies thus far have not shown a consistent link between cell phone use and cancers of the brain, nerves, or other tissues of the head or neck." (http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Risk/cellphones)

Although there are some data suggesting a link between cell phone usage and cancer, there are many others showing no link and in the studies showing a correlation, the effect is small and inconsistent (e.g. they show no increase in risk with increase in dosage). See the link above for a more in depth discussion of the relevant studies. On the whole, current evidence suggests the radiofrequency emissions used by cell phones and similar devices do not cause cancer.

Maybe because that's all nonsense?

We cure cancer every day with h[itex]\nu[/itex] ~ 0.25 - 18 MeV. Unfortunately it's not all cancers, all the time.

Here, some recent results are discussed:
