| 1 Cancer incidence data include all reportable
cancers, noninvasive and invasive.
2 Percent totals may not sum to 100 due to
rounding.
3 Includes non-reportable cancers; does not
include residents of nursing homes and other institutions.
4 The average difference between the age at
death and the expected age at death, calculated from Wisconsin life expectancy tables for
1993-95.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Cancers Reportable to the Cancer Reporting System. All malignant in situ
(noninvasive) cancers and invasive cancers except basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas
of the skin.
Age-adjusted Rates. Age-adjusted rates take into account diverse age
distributions between populations. This permits comparisons between different years and
places. An age-specific rate for each age group was determined, then weighted by
multiplying it by the proportion of the 1970 U.S. standard population in that age group.
The age-adjusted rate is the sum of the weighted age-specific rates.
Extent of Disease. "Local" includes invasive and in situ
tumors confined to the organ of origin; "non-local" includes all regional and
distant tumors.
No Treatment Reported. Includes cases not receiving cancer-directed treatment,
cases receiving care out-of-state for which no treatment information was available, cases
in which the patient refused or the physician did not recommend treatment and cases which
may have received treatment that was not reported to the Cancer Reporting System.
Sources of Data. Incidence and treatment data are collected by the Cancer
Reporting System; mortality data are from the Vital Records and Statistics death files;
cancer screening data are obtained from the 1996 Wisconsin Behavioral Risk Factor Survey;
and the percent of adults ever diagnosed with cancer is from the 1996 Wisconsin Family
Health Survey.
