a Estimates are per 100,000 women age 40 and over, and are age-adjusted to the 2000 U.S. standard million population by 5-year age groups. Due to changes in collection of staging data, comparisons between 2004 and previous year's data should be interpreted with caution.

DNA - Data have not been analyzed.

DSU - Registry did not meet the data quality criteria for all invasive cancers combined. Data quality criteria include: 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 than 5% are missing information on race; at least 97% of the registry's records passed a set of core single-field, interfield, and interrecord computerized edits.
