Footnotes:

a US 2015 cancer prevalence counts are based on 2015 cancer prevalence proportions from the SEER registries and 1/1/2015 US population estimates based on the average of 2014 and 2015 population estimates from the US Bureau of the Census. Prevalence was calculated using the First Malignant Primary Only for a person.

b Statistics based on SEER 9 Areas.

c Statistics based on SEER 13 Areas excluding the Alaska Native Registry.

d Statistics based on NHIA for Hispanic for SEER 13 Areas excluding the Alaska Native Registry.

e Maximum limited-duration prevalence: 40 years for 1975-2015 SEER 9 data; 23 years for 1992-2015 SEER 13 data (excluding the Alaska Navtive Registry) used to calculate prevalence for Hispanics and Asian Pacific Islanders.

f Cases diagnosed more than 40 years ago were estimated using the completeness index method (Capocaccia et. al. 1997, Merrill et. al. 2000).

g Complete prevalence is obtained by summing 0 to <40 and >=40.

- Statistic not shown. Statistic based on fewer than 5 cases estimated alive in SEER for the time interval.
