Underlying rates are per 100,000 and age-adjusted to the 2000 US Std Population (19 age groups - Census P25-1103).

For sex-specific cancer sites, the population was limited to the population of the appropriate sex.

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

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