aPopulation estimates were obtained from the United States Bureau of the Census available on the SEER program website.

bHistologic confirmation includes tumors classified as having diagnosis confirmed by: positive histology, positive cytology, positive histology plus – positive immunophenotyping and/or positive genetic studies, or positive microscopic confirmation, method not specified.

cRadiographic confirmation includes tumors classified as having diagnosis confirmed by Radiography and/or other imaging techniques without microscopic confirmation.

d2014–2017 only

-Counts and rates are not presented when fewer than 16 cases were reported for the specific category, or where the inclusion of the count and rate would allow for back-calculation of suppressed values. The suppressed cases are included in the counts and rates for totals.
