"Annual Report to the Nation on the Status of Cancer, 1975-2000, Featuring the Uses of Surveillance Data for Cancer Prevention and Control" by Weir et al. [J Nat Cancer Inst 2003;1276-99 (Issue 17)].

On page 1283, in the "Prostate Cancer" section of "Results", the third sentence should read: "[Prostate cancer] death rates for white men ranged from 36.9 per 100,000 men in Wyoming to 24.8 per 100,000 men in Alaska". On page 1289, revised data for Table 5 (PDF, 101 KB) "Prevalence of prostate-specific antigen testing, incidence of prostate cancer and prostate cancer death rates among black and white men by state" can be found below. On pages 1290-1292, revised data for Table 6 (PDF, 107 KB) "Prevalence of colorectal cancer screening, incidence of colorectal cancer, and colorectal cancer death rates by blacks and whites by state" can be found below. The authors regret the error.
