State Cancer Registries may provide more current or more local data.

* Data has been suppressed to ensure confidentiality and stability of rate estimates. Counts for both sexes are suppressed if fewer than 16 cases were reported in a specific area-sex-race category.
** Data not available because of state legislation and regulations which prohibit the release of county level data to outside entities.
*** Data not provided because it did not meet USCS data quality standards for one or more years during the rate period of data collection. While 92% of the US population resided in geographic areas with population-based cancer registries meeting the registry eligibility criteria for 2000, 8% of the US population was not yet represented in the United States Cancer Statistics. American Cancer Society's Facts & Figures provides estimates of numbers of new cancer cases and deaths.
**** Data does not include cases diagnosed in other states because data exchange agreements prohibit the release of data to third parties.

1 Incidence rates (cases per 100,000 population per year) are age-adjusted to the 2000 US standard population by 5-year age groups. Rates are for invasive cancer only, unless otherwise specified.

6 Source: SEER November 2004 submission. Rates calculated using SEER*Stat. Population counts for denominators are based on Census populations as modified by NCI.


Interpret Rankings provides insight into interpreting cancer incidence statistics. When the population size for a denominator is small, the rates may be unstable. A rate is unstable when a small change in the numerator (e.g., only one or two additional cases) has a dramatic effect on the calculated rate. Suppression is used to avoid misinterpretation when rates are unstable.
