c Top 5 cancer sites selected based on 1975-2013 SEER 9 Incidence rates for the age group.

d The AAPC is the Average Annual Percent Change and is based on the APCs calculated by Joinpoint over the time range of 1975-2013.

- Statistic could not be calculated. Count and rate based on less than 16 cases for the time interval. AAPC could not be calculated due to insufficient data.

* The AAPC is significantly different from zero (p<.05).
