APC = annual percent change; SEER = Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results; NPCR = National Program of Cancer Registries; NAACCR = North American Association of Central Cancer Registries. Source: Incidence data are from SEER and NPCR areas reported by NAACCR. Missing data indicate that one or more years of the specified time period did not meet the high-quality data standards designated by NAACCR. Mortality data are from the National Center for Health Statistics, 2005 Mortality Special Research File. Regional estimates for incidence were based on aggregated data from states that met the high-quality data standards designated by NAACCR for the specified period and for mortality they were based on aggregated data from all states in each region.
Rates (per 100 000 persons) are age standardized to the 2000 US standard population. Incidence rates are available for 40 states and the District of Columbia covering about 80% of the US population.
APC is based on age-standardized rates from 1996 to 2005. APCs for incidence rates are available for 28 states covering about 65% of the US population.
Rank is based on the 2001–2005 rate.
APC is statistically significantly different from zero (two-sided P < .05, calculated using a t test).
