| This
page provides links to a series of statistical tables on cancer
incidence, mortality and reporting completeness. The North Dakota
Cancer Registry (NDCR) provides the incidence data. The mortality data comes from
Leading and Selected Resident Cancer Deaths provided by the
Department of Health's Division of Vital Records. Population denominators used in
the calculation of incidence and mortality rates come from
the U.S. Bureau of the Census.
As part of the goal to provide a concise, descriptive summary of
cancer statistics for North Dakota's population, no formal
statistical testing of differences in incidence or mortality is
presented in the available tables. However, wherever possible, the
statistical tables provide necessary data for the individual
researcher to perform such statistical testing (i.e., standard
error). Except where
indicated, all data is North Dakota data and covers the defined
reporting year. Cancer
incidence is classified using the International Classification of
Disease - Oncology (ICD-O). Cancer mortality is classified
using the International Classification of Disease – 9
(ICD-9).
Several analytical measures are presented in the statistical
tables. These measures include crude incidence rate, age-adjusted
incidence rate and distribution of stage at diagnosis. Detailed descriptions of these
analytical measures may be found in the Technical Notes and Glossary pages.
