Notes

  • Incidence data are provisional, November 2022.
  • Rates are per 100,000 persons, age-adjusted to the 2000 US standard population, with 95% confidence intervals.
  • Rates based on fewer than 20 cases per year are unstable and should be used with caution.
  • Cancer diagnoses trends in 2020 may have been affected by the coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic.
  • Regional/distant stage indicates disease has spreaded beyond the limits of the organ of origin at diagnosis.
