Footnotes:
The APC is the Annual Percent Change over the time interval. Rates used in the calculation of the APC are age-adjusted to the 2000 U.S. standard population (18 age groups - Census P25-1130).
a U.S. Mortality Files, National Center for Health Statistics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Due to coding changes throughout the years: Colon excludes other digestive tract; Rectum includes anal canal; Liver & intrahepatic bile duct includes gallbladder & biliary tract, NOS; Lung & bronchus includes trachea & pleura; Ovary includes fallopian tube; Urinary bladder includes other urinary organs; Kidney & Renal pelvis includes ureter; NHL and myeloma each include a small number of leukemias; NHL includes a small number of ill-defined sites.
b Survival estimates for 1950-54 are from NCI Survival Report 5 with the exception of All Sites, Oral cavity & pharynx, Colon & rectum, Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Childhood cancers which come from historical Connecticut data. Survival estimates for 2004-2010 are from the SEER 9 areas (San Francisco, Connecticut, Detroit, Hawaii, Iowa, New Mexico, Seattle, Utah, and Atlanta). Rates are based on follow-up of patients into 2011.
* The APC is significantly different from zero (p<.05).
