Cancer Mortality Data Sample Clauses

Cancer Mortality Data. The Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) was the source of information on cancer mortality for 1986 through 2017 by race and ethnicity. The underlying cause of death was provided by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). Data presented were released in December of 2019.

Cancer Mortality Data. The Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) was the source of information on cancer mortality for 1986 through 2016 by race and ethnicity. The underlying cause of death was provided by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). Data presented were released in December of 2018. Population Estimates: The population estimates of the sex- and race-specific, as well as sex- and ethnicity/race-specific groups in five-year age categories, were used as denominators in the formulation of rates. These population estimates of Illinois for all races, whites, blacks, and Asian/other races from 1986 through 2016, and for Hispanics, non-Hispanics, non-Hispanic white, and non-Hispanic black for 1990 through 2016 were obtained from both the intercensal and Vintage 2017 bridged-race post censal population estimates files. Population estimates by age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin were produced by the United States Bureau of Census Population Estimates Program in collaboration with the National Center for Health Statistics, and with support from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) through an interagency agreement. The population estimates incorporate intercensal (for 2000‐2009) and Vintage 2017 (for 2010‐2016) bridged single‐race estimates are derived from the original multiple race categories in the 2000 and 2010 Censuses (as specified in the 1997 Office of Management and Budget standards for the collection of data on race and ethnicity). The bridged single‐race estimates and a description of the methodology used to develop them appear on the National Center for Health Statistics website. The intercensal estimates provide an adjustment of previous population estimates based on the actual 2010 census results (xxxxx://xxx0.xxxxxx.xxx/programs-surveys/popest/technical- documentation/methodology/intercensal/2000-2010-intercensal-estimates-methodology.pdf).7,8 Previous estimates utilized prior to the availability of the 2010 census data were prone to increased error as the time from the actual 2000 census increased. At the national level, estimates using both the 2000 census and the 2010 census are not very different from the previous estimates. However, there are more significant differences at the state and county levels that may result in changes to cancer incidence rates when one compares this report to earlier versions.
