aAnnual average cases are calculated by dividing the five-year total by five.

bRates are per 100,000 and are age adjusted to the 2000 US standard population.

cThe sites referred to in this table are loosely based on the categories and site codes defined in the SEER site/histology validation list.

dICD-O-3 histology codes 9522-9523 only.
