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 2009.
c SEER 18 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, New Jersey and Georgia excluding ATL/RG). Based on follow-up of patients into 2009.
d Period survival provides a 2008 estimate of survival by piecing together the most recent conditional survival estimates from several cohorts. It is computed here using three year calendar blocks (2006-2008: 0-1 year survival), (2005-2007: 1-2 year survival), (2004-2006: 2-3 year survival), (2003-2005: 3-4 year survival), (2002-2004: 4-5 years survival).
e Stage at diagnosis is classified using SEER Summary Stage 2000.
f The difference between 1975-1977 and 2002-2008 is statistically significant (p<.05).
g The standard error is between 5 and 10 percentage points.
h The standard error is greater than 10 percentage points.
j In situ cases are not included in the All Stages group.
- Statistic could not be calculated due to fewer than 25 cases during the time period.
