Source: SEER 9 areas (San Francisco, Connecticut, Detroit, Hawaii, Iowa, New Mexico, Seattle, Utah, and Atlanta). Based on follow-up of patients into 2007.
Note: Neuroblastoma and Wilms' tumor are not mutually exclusive from the other tumors presented in table.
a Neuroblastoma is defined as histologies 9490-9509.
b Wilms' tumor is defined as histologies 8959-8960.
c The difference between 1975-1977 and 1999-2006 is statistically significant (p<.05).
d The standard error is between 5 and 10 percentage points.
e The standard error is greater than 10 percentage points.
- Statistic could not be calculated due to fewer than 25 cases during the time period.
