Abstract
For the second consecutive year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Cancer Institute have released an annual US Cancer Statistics report (1). Published in collaboration with the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries, this report provides detailed information on cancer incidence, surveillance, epidemiology, and end results for 66 selected primary cancer sites and subsites for males (Table 1), 70 selected primary cancer sites and subsites for females (Table 2), and for all cancer sites combined (Figs. 1 and 2). In addition, these data have been analyzed with regard to geographic area, race, sex, and age (Table 3). According to the CDC and National Cancer Institute, 84% of the US population is covered in the 2000 surveillance report (1).
