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. 2 Source: State Cancer Registry and the National Program of Cancer Registries Cancer Surveillance System (NPCR-CSS), CDC, January 2004 data submission, as published in United States Cancer Statistics, November 2004. 5 Source: State Cancer Registry and the National Program of Cancer Registries Cancer Surveillance System (NPCR-CSS), CDC, January 2004 data submission. 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. | |||
