Estimated numbers of 2005 cancer cases
and deaths for all primary cancer sites are available statewide,
by health service region, and for Texas counties with at least
100,000 population. Case estimates were calculated by applying
1998-2002 California age, sex, and race/ethnic-specific cancer
incidence rates to corresponding 2005 Texas population estimates.
California rates were used because of more complete California
Cancer Registry case ascertainment and similarity between California
and Texas populations. Estimated numbers of cancer deaths were
calculated by applying 1998-2002 Texas age, sex, and race/ethnic-specific
cancer mortality rates to corresponding 2005 Texas population
estimates. The sum of Male and Female expected numbers may not
always equal the Total due to rounding. Texas 2005 population
estimates were provided by the Center for Health Statistics,
Texas Department of State Health Services and current as of
February 2005.
