1 Priority indices were created by ordering from rates that are rising and above the comparison rate to rates that are falling and below the comparison rate.
2 Recent trend in death rates is Average Annual Percent Change (AAPC) based on the APCs calculated by Joinpoint Regression Program. Due to data availability issues, the time period used in the calculation of the joinpoint regression model may differ for selected racial groups or counties.
3 Rate ratio is the county rate divided by the US rate.
4 Due to data availability issues, the time period used in the calculation of the joinpoint regression model may differ for selected racial groups or counties.
Source: Death data provided by the National Vital Statistics System public use data file. Death rates calculated by the National Cancer Institute using SEER*Stat. Death rates are age-adjusted to the 2000 US standard population (19 age groups: <1, 1–4, 5–9, … , 80–84, 85+). Population counts for denominators are based on Census populations as modified by NCI.
Note: When the population size for a denominator is small, the rates may be unstable. A rate is unstable when a small change in the numerator (e.g., only one or two additional cases) has a dramatic effect on the calculated rate. Suppression is used to avoid misinterpretation when rates are unstable.
State Cancer Registries may provide more current or more local data. Data presented on the State Cancer Profiles Web Site may differ from statistics reported by the State Cancer Registries (for more information).
Data for the following has been suppressed to ensure confidentiality and stability of rate and trend estimates:
Bladder (Females), Brain & ONS (Females), Brain & ONS (Males), Cervix (Females), Childhood (Ages <15, All Sites) (Females), Childhood (Ages <15, All Sites) (Males), Childhood (Ages <20, All Sites) (Females), Childhood (Ages <20, All Sites) (Males), Esophagus (Females), Kidney & Renal Pelvis (Females), Kidney & Renal Pelvis (Males), Melanoma of the Skin (Females), Melanoma of the Skin (Males), Oral Cavity & Pharynx (Females), Thyroid (Females), Thyroid (Males), Uterus (Females)
Trend for the following could not be reliably determined due to small number of deaths per year:
Bladder (Males), Oral Cavity & Pharynx (Males), Stomach (Females) |
