Footnotes:
a SEER 18 areas (San Francisco, Connecticut, Detroit, Hawaii, Iowa, New Mexico, Seattle, Utah, Atlanta, San Jose-Monterey, Los Angeles, Alaska Native Registry, Rural Georgia, California excluding SF/SJM/LA, Kentucky, Louisiana, New Jersey and Georgia excluding ATL/RG). Expected survival rates are derived from life tables by socio-economic status, geography and race developed by the SEER program. Based on follow-up of patients into 2016.
b The standard error is between 5 and 10 percentage points.
c The standard error is greater than 10 percentage points.
d Survival by stage was not calculated for this site due to inconsistent coding of stage over time.
- Statistic could not be calculated due to fewer than 25 cases during the time period.
