^a. Refers to regional and distant SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results) summary stage.

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

^c. United States estimates included all registries meeting United States Cancer Statistics publication criteria for the given year and covers 100% of the U.S. population in 2006 and 99.2% (NV excluded) of the U.S. population in 2007.

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% percent 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.

Key: SE: standard error.
