a Top 15 cancer sites selected based on 2006-2010 age-adjusted rates for the race/ethnic group.

b Rates are per 100,000 and 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. 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 2006-2010 Hispanic death rates do not include deaths from the District of Columbia, North Dakota and South Carolina. The 2001-2010 Hispanic mortality trends do not include deaths from the District of Columbia, Minnesota, New Hampshire, North Dakota and South Carolina.

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.

* 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.
