a
Number of cases in SEER registry, 1992–2010
b
Rate is significantly different than rate in white
c
Rate is significantly different than rate in non-Hispanic
d
N does not sum to total because incidence rates were not presented for American Indian/Native Alaskan (N = 3) and other (N = 1) categories
