Cancer incidence data included in this report are from statewide or metropolitan area cancer registries that meet the following data quality criteria for all cancer sites combined:
- Case ascertainment is 90% or more complete.
- No more than 5% of cases are ascertained solely on the basis of a death certificate.
- No more than 3% of cases are missing information on sex.
- No more than 3% of cases are missing information on age.
- No more that 5% of cases are missing information on race.
- At least 97% of the registry's records passed a set of core single-field, inter-field, and inter-record computerized edits.
*National Program of Cancer Registries (including California, Kentucky, Louisiana, and New Jersey) data quality based on January 2006 data submission; SEER data quality based on November 2005 data submission.
†Completeness of case ascertainment was estimated by methods developed by the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries. Sources:
- Howe HL. Conclusions of the Workgroup for High-Quality Criteria for Data Use: The NAACCR Narrative. Springfield, IL: North American Association of Central Cancer Registries; 2001.
- Tucker TC, Howe HL, Weir HK. Certification of population-based cancer registries. Journal of Registry Management 1999;26(1):24–27.
‡Computerized edits test the validity and logic of data components reported for selected items.
§DCOs are death certificate only cases; that is, cancer cases ascertained solely on the basis of a death certificate after the registry has completed a routine procedure
known as death clearance and followback.
¶Greater Bay includes the San Francisco-Oakland and San Jose-Monterey registries.
SEER = Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results.
