Low volume: fewer than 10,000 cases; medium volume: 10,000–50,000 cases; high volume: more than 50,000 cases.

2

Excludes Pacific Island Jurisdictions. Registry did not report cases diagnosed in 2006 and was still building capacity for case reporting.

3

Excludes NPCR registries that also receive SEER funding: California (San Francisco—Oakland, San Jose—Monterey, Los Angeles), Georgia (Atlanta), Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan (Detroit), New Jersey, and Washington (Seattle-Puget Sound).
