Annual Percent Change (APC) over the 5-year period calculated by SEER*Stat.
"    Death data provided by the National Vital Statistics System public use data file.  Death rates calculated by the National Cancer Institute using SEER*Stat.  Death rates are age-adjusted to the 2000 US standard population (19 age groups: <1, 1-4, 5-9, ... , 80-84, 85+).  Population counts for denominators are based on Census populations as modified by NCI."

# - The annual percent change is significantly different from zero (p<0.05).
