Note 1: All rates are expressed per 100,000 persons.

Note 2: Cancers of colon and rectum/anus are grouped together as "Cancer of coloretum".

Note 3: "Lip, Oral Cavity & Pharynx except Nasopharynx Cancer" are treated as a single group effective for the 2005 reporting year. For this reason, rankings in this table are not directly comparable to previous years.
