Note: Invasive cancer only unless specified otherwise.

a Underlying incidence data for American Indian/Alaska Native are based on the CHSDA(Contract Health Service Delivery Area) counties.

b Hispanic is not mutually exclusive from whites, blacks, Asian Pacific Islanders, and American Indians/Alaska Natives. Underlying incidence data for Hispanics are based on NHIA and exclude cases from the Alaska Native Registry.

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

A percent or confidence interval value of 0.00 represents a value that is below 0.005.
