Footnotes

* Data are from selected statewide and metropolitan area cancer registries that meet the data quality criteria for all invasive cancer sites combined. See registry-specific data qualityinformation. Rates cover approximately 99% of the U.S. population.

† Excludes basal and squamous cell carcinomas of the skin except when these occur on the skin of the genital organs, and in situ cancers except urinary bladder.

‡ Rates are age-adjusted to the 2000 U.S. standard population (19 age groups – Census P25–1130).

§ Data for specified racial or ethnic populations other than white and black should be interpreted with caution. See Technical Notes.

|| Hispanic origin is not mutually exclusive from race categories (white, black, Asian/Pacific Islander, American Indian/Alaska Native).

~ Rates are suppressed and not ranked if case counts are fewer than 16 or if the population of the specific category (race, ethnicity) is less than 50,000.

Confidence interval (CI): Range of values for a rate that will include the true value of the rate a given percentage of the time. Example: 95% CI includes the true value of the rate 95% of the time. 

Notes: ONS – Other Nervous System; NOS – Not Otherwise Specified; IBD – Intrahepatic Bile Duct. Urinary bladder cases include invasive and in situ
