Use with caution * Counts less than 5 are suppressed Hispanic ethnicity is independent of race, so the counts will not sum to the total. Hispanic ethnicity is determined by self-report and the National Hispanic Identification Algorithm available online at Http:// www.naaccr.org/filesystem/pdf/NHIA%20v2%2009-21-05.pdf American Indian rate is known to be underreported. Previous analyses by the North Carolina Central Cancer Registry indicates approximately 17% of patients of American Indian race are reported as a different race. Incidence is assumed to be under-estimated as a result of misclassification. CAUTION: Incidence rates published prior to 2005 were calculated using the State Demographer's file. Incidence rates for 2001-2005 used the Bridged-race population estimates obtained from the National Center for Health Statistics (Vintage 2006, available online at http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/about/major/dvs/popbridge/popbridge.htm). Rates from different diagnosis years are not comparable. Rates updated 6/2008
