Footnotes:

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

b Mortality data used in calculating the rates are analyzed from US mortality files provided by the National Center for Health Statistics, CDC. 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. Mortality data used in calculating the trends are analyzed from US mortality files provided by the National Center for Health Statistics, CDC. 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. The 2004-2008 Hispanic death rates do not include deaths from the District of Columbia and North Dakota. The 1999-2008 Hispanic mortality trends do not include deaths from the District of Columbia, Minnesota, New Hampshire and North Dakota.

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

* 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.
