Notes:
  • Created by statecancerprofiles.cancer.gov on 01/30/2009 8:35 pm.
  • Regression lines calculated using the Joinpoint Regression Program.
  • 1 The APC is the Annual Percent Change over the time interval. Rates used in the calculation of the APC are age-adjusted to the 2000 US standard population (19 age groups: <1, 1-4, 5-9, ... , 80-84, 85+).
  • Explanation of the Calculation of the Trend:
  • If the APC is less than -1.5, the trend is falling.
  • If the APC is between -1.5 and -0.5, the trend is slightly falling.
  • If the APC is between -0.5 and 0.5, the trend is statistically stable.
  • If the APC is between 0.5 and 1.5, the trend is slightly rising.
  • If the APC is greater than 1.5, the trend is rising.Statistics for minorities may be affected by inconsistent race identification between the cancer case reports (sources for numerator of rate) and data from the Census Bureau (source for denominator of rate); and from undercounts of some population groups in the census.

    Source: Incidence data provided by the SEER Program. Rates calculated by the National Cancer Institute using SEER*Stat. Rates are age-adjusted to the 2000 US standard population (19 age groups: <1, 1-4, 5-9, ... , 80-84, 85+). Rates are for invasive cancer only (except for bladder cancer which is invasive and in situ) or unless otherwise specified. Population counts for denominators are based on Census populations as modified by NCI.

    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 (deaths per 100,000 population per year) 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.

    ** Hispanic mortality data for the United States has been excluded for the following states: Connecticut, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Vermont, and Virginia. The data on Hispanic and non-Hispanic mortality for these states may be unreliable for the time period used in the generation of the trend (1990-2005) and has been excluded from the calculation of the United States recent trend. This was based on the value of the Hispanic Index.

    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.
