^aEstimates are per 100,000 women age 50 and over and are age adjusted to the 2000 U.S. standard million population by 5-year age groups.

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% of cases are missing information on race; and at least 97% of the registry's records passed a set of core single-field, interfield, and interrecord computerized edits.
