Footnotes:
a Based on End Results data from a series of hospital registries and one population-based registry.
b SEER 9 areas (San Francisco, Connecticut, Detroit, Hawaii, Iowa, New Mexico, Seattle, Utah, Atlanta). Based on follow-up of patients into 2008.
c SEER 17 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). Based on follow-up of patients into 2008.
d Period survival provides a 2007 estimate of survival by piecing together the most recent conditional survival estimates from several cohorts. It is computed here using three year calendar blocks (2005-2007: 0-1 year survival), (2004-2006: 1-2 year survival), (2003-2005: 2-3 year survival), (2002-2004: 3-4 year survival), (2001-2003: 4-5 years survival).
e The difference between 1975-1977 and 2001-2007 is statistically significant (p<.05).
f The standard error is between 5 and 10 percentage points.
g The standard error is greater than 10 percentage points.
- Statistic could not be calculated due to fewer than 25 cases during the time period.
