Age-adjusted rate* of cancer deaths, by primary cancer site, race,^† and sex — United States, 2013^§

Abbreviations: AI/AN = American Indian/Alaska Native; A/PI = Asian/Pacific Islander.

* Rates are the number of deaths per 100,000 persons and are age-adjusted to the 2000 U.S. standard population (19 age groups – Census P25–1130). For more information, see USCS technical notes (https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/npcr/uscs/pdf/uscs-2013-technical-notes.pdf).

^† Rates are not presented for persons of unknown or other race. Data for specified racial populations other than white and black should be interpreted with caution. For more information, see USCS technical notes (https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/npcr/uscs/pdf/uscs-2013-technical-notes.pdf#nameddest=IntRaceEthnicityData).

^§ Data are from the National Vital Statistics System (NVSS). Data for death rates cover 100% of the U.S. population. Use caution when comparing incidence and death rates because of potential differences in population coverage.
