Notes

  • Incidence data are provisional, January 2008
  • Based on tumors with known stage at diagnosis. Early stage cancers are those which are confined to the organ of origin at diagnosis.
  • Stage at diagnosis among Blacks is not reported for melanomas or testicular cancers due to the small number of cases per year.
