2. Figure 1
Trends in incidence and mortality for colorectal cancer by racial and ethnic group. Incidence data for white and black populations are from the SEER 9 areas. Incidence data for Asian/Pacific Islander, American Indian/Alaska Native, and Hispanic populations are from the SEER 13 areas. Mortality data are from US Mortality Files, National Center for Health Statistics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. aRates are age adjusted to the 2000 US standard population. Regression lines are calculated using the Joinpoint Regression Program version 3.3.1, April 2008, National Cancer Institute. Joinpoint analyses for white and black populations during the 1975–2006 period allow a maximum of 4 joinpoints. Analyses for other ethnic groups during the 1992–2006 period allow a maximum of 2 joinpoints. bAsian/Pacific Islander. cAmerican Indian/Alaska Native. Rates for American Indian/Alaska Native are based on the Contract Health Service Delivery Area (CHSDA) counties. dHispanic is not mutually exclusive from the white, black, Asian/Pacific Islander, and American Indian/Alaska Native populations. Incidence data for the Hispanic population are based on the Hispanic Identification Algorithm (NHIA) and exclude cases from the Alaska Native Registry. Mortality data for the Hispanic population exclude cases from Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and Vermont.

(A) Geographic variation in invasive colorectal cancer incidence rates for the United States, 2002–2006. Incidence rates (cases per 100,000 population per year) are age adjusted to the 2000 US standard population and adjusted for the population shifts due to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Death data are provided by the National Vital Statistics System public use data file and calculated by the National Cancer Institute using SEER*Stat. Population counts are based on census populations and adjusted for the population shifts due to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Mortality rates (deaths per 100,000 population per year) are age adjusted to the 2000 US standard population.
