Appendices

Following are selected major references used in preparing this report.

The data referenced here will not always match the data in the Cancer Trends Progress Report – 2007 Update. This is because most of the report's data were age-adjusted to the year 2000 standard population in order to be compatible with data presented in Healthy People 2010.
