Footnotes:

a Top 15 cancer sites selected based on 2004-2008 age-adjusted rates for the race/ethnic group.

b Incidence data used in calculating the rates are from the 17 SEER areas (San Francisco, Connecticut, Detroit, Hawaii, Iowa, New Mexico, Seattle, Utah, Atlanta, San Jose-Monterey, Los Angeles, Alaska Native Registry, Rural Georgia, California excluding SF/SJM/LA, Kentucky, Louisiana and New Jersey). Rates are age-adjusted to the 2000 US Std Population (19 age groups - Census P25-1130).

c The APC is the Annual Percent Change over the time interval. Incidence data used in calculating the trends are from the 13 SEER areas (San Francisco, Connecticut, Detroit, Hawaii, Iowa, New Mexico, Seattle, Utah, Atlanta, San Jose-Monterey, Los Angeles, Alaska Native Registry and Rural Georgia). Trends are based on rates age-adjusted to the 2000 US Std Population (19 age groups - Census P25-1130).

d Rates for American Indian/Alaska Native are based on the CHSDA(Contract Health Service Delivery Area) counties.

e Hispanic is not mutually exclusive from whites, blacks, Asian/Pacific Islanders, and American Indians/Alaska Natives. Incidence data for Hispanics are based on NHIA and exclude cases from the Alaska Native Registry.

f The rates for sex-specific cancer sites are calculated using the population for both sexes combined.

g IBD = Intrahepatic Bile Duct. ONS = Other Nervous System.

h Ovary excludes borderline cases or histologies 8442, 8451, 8462, 8472, and 8473.

* The APC is significantly different from zero (p<.05).

- Statistic not shown. Rate based on less than 16 cases for the time interval. Trend based on less than 10 cases for at least one year within the time interval.
