1 Adjusted for stage (localized vs. regional vs. distant), race/ethnicity (non-Hispanic white vs. Hispanic white vs. black vs. Native American vs. Asian), and registry site.

2 P value for interaction term between age (continuous) and year of diagnosis (continuous) in Cox proportional hazards model.
