1

Cervical cancers (International Classification of Diseases for Oncology, Third Edition [ICD-O-3] site codes C53.0–C53.9) are limited to carcinomas (ICD-O-3 histology codes 8010–8671, 8940–8941); SCC includes ICD-O-3 codes 8050–8084,8120–8131; AC includes ICD-O-3 codes 8140–8575

2

Cancer incidence compiled from cancer registries that meet the data quality criteria for all invasive cancer sites combined for each year during the period 1999–2017 (covering 97.8% of the U.S. population).

3

Year of diagnosis in women ages 15–20 is grouped into 2-year intervals during the years 1999–2014, and one 3-year interval (2015–2017) due to sparse data

Significant at p<0.05. Trends were measured with AAPC in rates and were considered to increase or decrease if p<0.05; otherwise rates were considered stable.
