‘Ref’ denotes ‘reference’. ‘u/d’ denotes ‘undefined’. ‘OR’ denotes ‘odds ratio’. To avoid any cell with N<16 (SEER data user agreement), cervical cancer and melanoma were not reported, AI/AN with cases <16 were not reported for other tumor sites, and <20 was reported for NH-Black and NH-API with ovarian and urinary bladder cancer.
