* Cancer cases are rounded to the nearest ten and may not always sum exactly. IDU = injection drug users; MSM = men who have sex with men.

† The percentage excess is calculated as excess/total; the percentage deficit is calculated as deficit/expected (see Methods).

‡ Deficit cancers are set equal to zero to calculate percent of total excess.

§ Individuals who are both MSM and IDU are classified as MSM.
