Rates are per 100,000 and age-adjusted to the 2000 U.S. (18 age groups) standard. SE: standard error of rate; nr: not reported as there were less than 10 cancer deaths for site; Brain: brain and other nervous system; Endometrium: corpus and uterus, not otherwise specified; Kidney: kidney and renal pelvis; Liver: liver and intrahepatic bile duct; Lung: lung and bronchus; Non-Hodgkin: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma; Oral cavity: oral cavity and pharynx (including nasopharynx). 95% confidence intervals are Rate ± SE.
