Data derived seer.cancer.gov. ‘M’ = male; ‘F’ = female; NH = Non-Hispanic; ‘–‘ = number of cases too small to estimate ratios.
*
Includes adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. For Black:NHW rate ratios, a ratio of “1” means that the Black rate and NHW rates are equal, and rates >1.0 means that Blacks have higher rates than NHWs, and rates <1.0 means NHWs have higher rates than Blacks.
