Footnotes:

a U.S. 2017 cancer prevalence counts are based on 2017 cancer prevalence proportions from the SEER 13 registries (not including the Alaska Natives Registry) and 1/1/2017 U.S. population estimates based on the average of 2016 and 2017 population estimates from the U.S. Bureau of the Census.

b Prevalence estimates are ambiguous for those with multiple cancers, unless the tumor inclusion criteria are understood. Depending on the application, different inclusion criteria may be appropriate. This table provides three different methods of tumor inclusion which are listed in footnotes (c) to (e).

c First invasive tumor ever. Referred to as method (c) in Example below.

d First invasive tumor for each cancer site diagnosed during the previous 25 years (1992-2016). All sites is treated as a separate cancer "site". Referred to as method (d) in Example below.

e First invasive tumor for each cancer site diagnosed during the previous 5 years (2012-2016). All sites is treated as a separate cancer "site". Referred to as method (e) in Example below.

Example: Consider a woman who had three invasive cancers: Melanoma in 1981; Breast cancer in 2011; Melanoma in 2012.
In method (c) the melanoma is the woman's first cancer, and is counted for the melanoma and all sites 25-year limited duration prevalence. For 5-year limited duration prevalence, the woman is not counted at all since her first cancer occurred more than 5 years prior to 1/1/2017.
In method (d) the 1981 melanoma is counted for the melanoma and all sites 25-year limited duration prevalence. The 2011 breast cancer is counted for the breast 5-year and 25-year limited duration prevalence.
In method (e) the 2011 breast cancer is counted for the breast cancer and all sites 5-year limited duration prevalence. The 2012 melanoma is counted for 5-year limited duration prevalence for melanoma.

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