Revision History

Date	Revision	Affected Pages
02/06/2009	The SEER Area Map was revised to include labels for New Mexico and Utah, and to indicate that Alaska is part of the SEER 13 registries.	Figure I-1 Map appears in the Overview.
12/17/2008	The rates on table 29-1 that were labeled as diagnosis years 2004+ only included case counts from diagnosis year 2004. The rates were corrected to include diagnosis years 2004 and 2005. This update affected the rates for "Including Group III benign brain/CNS tumors (2004+)" and all rates belonging to classification group III.	Table changed: 29-1 The table appears in the topic: 29. Childhood Cancer by the ICCC
12/17/2008	The age groups on table 21-10 in the Ovary chapter were mislabeled as ages <50 and ages 50+. The age groups are now correctly labeled as ages <65 and ages 65+	Table changed: 21-10 The table appears in the topic: 21. Ovary
10/22/2008	Added a table that defines the "Adapted Classification of Tumors in Adolescents and Young Adults".	The new table is included in the Appendix as Table A-7. The tables that were previously numbered as A-7 through A-11 are now numbered as Tables A-8 through A-12.
7/15/2008	The tables that rank state mortality rates were updated to include maps to geographically depict trends.	Maps appear under Death Rates by State tables within Sections 2 through 27. Affected tables and maps appear in the new topic: Death Rates by State
6/26/2008	The CSR Introduction was updated to explain the increase from a maximum of 3 joinpoints per regression line analysis to 4 joinpoints per regression line analysis.	Introduction The CSR Introduction appears in the topic: Section 1: Overview
6/26/2008	The tables that show Joinpoint regression line analysis results when up to 4 Joinpoints are allowed were collected to create Section 34 of the CSR. The tables within Section 34 are still included in their appropriate cancer site sections.	Section 34: Trends with up to 4 Joinpoints
6/20/2008	Additional tables were added that show Joinpoint regression line analysis results when up to 4 Joinpoints are allowed. The graphs that show Joinpoint trends lines were updated to be based on Joinpoint analyses with a maximum of 4 Joinpoints. The Joinpoint analyses previously used in the CSR allowed a maximum of 3 Joinpoints.	Tables and Graphs that show Joinpoint results in Sections 1 through 28 and Section 33.
5/30/2008	The Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer chapter was released.	Section 32: Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer
5/2/2008	There was a typo In the last paragraph on the first page of the Veterans Affairs Adjustment chapter. The overall cancer burden for females was underestimated by 0.05%, not 0.5%.	Section 33: Veterans Affairs Adjustment
4/17/2008	Incorrect rates were displayed in the tables titled SEER INCIDENCE AND U.S. DEATH RATES, AGE-ADJUSTED AND AGE-SPECIFIC RATES, BY RACE. The mortality estimates age-adjusted to the world standard were incorrect in each of the CSR sections from Section 2 through Section 27. Incorrect estimates were displayed for gender specific cancer sites including : in situ breast, cervix uteri, corpus & uterus, ovary, prostate and testis.	Tables changed: 2-4, 3-4, 4-9, 5-4, 6-7, 6-8, 7-4, 8-4, 9-4, 11-4, 12-4, 13-8, 14-4, 15-7, 15-8, 16-4, 18-4, 19-4, 20-4A, 21-4, 22-4, 23-4, 24-4, 25-4, 26-4, 27-4 Tables appear in the each section from Section 2 through Section 27.
