Data use/Notes:
SCCCR staff: DH, SC, SB

Underlying incidence data for SC statistics provided by the SC Central Cancer Registry (SCCCR), Office of PHS, SC DHEC
Underlying mortality data for SC statistics provided by SC Vital Records, Office of PHS, SC DHEC

Rates, where provided, are per 100,000 population and age-adjusted to the 2000 US Std Population (19 age groups - Census P25-1130) standard.
* Suppression rules may have been applied to these data: counts from 1-4 are recorded as <5*; counts from 5-9 are recorded as 5-9*,
* cells with greater than 15 cases may be suppressed to prevent calculation of other suppressed cells based on totals (e.g., 10-15*, >15*).
* cells with 15 or fewer cases (~) do not have rates due to the instability of small numbers when calculating rates
* incidence statistics are for invasive cancers unless otherwise stated
