Description

Beginning with 1999 cancer incidence data, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services adopted the 2000 U.S. standard population for age adjustment. Therefore, the age-adjusted rates presented in this report are adjusted to the new 2000 U.S. standard population, and caution should be used when comparing data with previously published cancer incidence rates that were adjusted to the 1970 U.S. standard population.
