Note: "All Sites" excludes basal and squamous cell skin cancers and in situ carcinomas except urinary bladder.
* Survival rates are adjusted for normal life expectancy and are based on follow-up of patients through 1996.
†The difference in rates between 1974-1976 and 1989-1996 is statistically significant (p < 0.05).
‡The standard error of the survival rate is between 5 and 10 percentage points.
