The EAPC is the Estimated Annual Percent Change over the time interval.
Rates used in the calculation of the EAPC are age-adjusted to the 1970 U.S. standard population.
[1] Facts and Figures, 1998. American Cancer Society, Atlanta, Georgia, 1998.
[2] NCHS public use data file.
[3] All Sites, Liver & Intrahep, Brain & Other nervous and Childhood cancers are for all races
as opposed to whites.
[4] Data prior to 1973 are from Devesa, Silverman, Young, et al. Cancer Incidence and Mortality Trends
Among Whites in the United States, 1947-84. JNCI 1987; 79:701-770 with the exception of All Sites,
Liver & Intrahep, Brain & Other nervous and Childhood cancers which come from historical Connecticut
data. Data for 1973-98 are from the same areas used in Devesa or the Connecticut registry of the
SEER Program.
[5] NCHS public use tape. Due to coding changes throughout the years: Colon excludes other digestive tract;
Rectum includes anal canal; Liver & Intrahep includes gallbladder & biliary tract, NOS;
Lung & Bronchus includes trachea & pleura; Ovary includes fallopian tube; Urinary bladder includes other
urinary organs; Kidney & Renal pelvis includes ureter; NHL and Multiple myeloma each include a small number
of leukemias; NHL includes a small number of ill-defined sites.
[6] Rates for 1950-54 are from NCI Survival Report 5 with the exception of All Sites, Oral cavity & Pharynx,
Colon & Rectum, Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas and Childhood cancers which come from historical Connecticut data.
Rates for 1992-98 are from the SEER Program with the exception of the sites just listed which come from the
Connecticut registry of the SEER Program.
