AIAN: American Indian/Alaska Native, APC: annual percentage change, API: Asian/Pacific Islander, CI: confidence interval, moder/poor/undifferentiated: moderately, poorly, or undifferentiated.
¹Rates are per 100,000 men and are age-adjusted to the 2000 US standard population.
²Data are from 46 population-based cancer registries that participate in the National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR) and/or the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program and meet high quality data criteria. These registries cover 93.5% US population for 2001–2007.
³Unknown race and race groups other than white, black, AIAN, and API are not listed but included in the total case count.
⁴Hispanic origin is not mutually exclusive from race categories (white, black, AIAN, and API).
⁵Sum of counts is less than total due to missing information on stage.
~ indicates that the denominator for the rate was unknown.
