Description:"United States Cancer Statistics: 2004 Incidence and Mortality is a joint publication of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia, and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in Bethesda, Maryland, in collaboration with the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries, Inc. (NAACCR) in Springfield, Illinois. This is the sixth annual joint report produced by the two federal programs that support population-based cancer registries in the United States: CDC's National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR) and NCI's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program. This report contains official federal government cancer statistics for more than 1 million invasive cancer cases diagnosed during 2004 among residents of 49 states, 6 metropolitan areas, and the District of Columbia, and these geographic areas are inhabited by about 98% of the U.S. population. In addition to cancer incidence data, we present cancer mortality data collected and processed by CDC's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). Mortality statistics, based on records of deaths that occurred during 2004, are available for all 50 states and the District of Columbia." - p. v.
