aThe cohort analysis of survival rates was utilized for calculating the survival estimates presented in this table. Long-term cohort-based survival estimates reflect the survival experience of individuals diagnosed over the time period, and they may not necessarily reflect the long-term survival outlook of newly diagnosed cases.

bRates are an estimate of the percentage of patients alive at one, two, five, and ten years, respectively. Rates were not presented for categories with 50 or fewer cases and were suppressed for rates where fewer than 16 cases were surviving within a category.

cThe sites referred to in this table are loosely based on the categories and site codes defined in the SEER Site/Histology Validation List.

-- Counts and rates are not presented for categories with 50 or fewer cases and were suppressed for rates where fewer than 16 cases were surviving within a category. The suppressed cases are included in the counts and rates for totals.
