Annual Percent Change (APC) for the age-adjusted mortality rates for cancer of the oral cavity and pharynx, for all ages, genders and races, sorted by US state, 1999–2003, were created by statecancerprofiles.cancer.gov, using NCI SEER*Stat and sorted. Eight states were identified with positive, increasing APC using this method. *N/Q: Data not provided because it did not meet United States Cancer Statistics (USCS) data quality standards for one or more years during the rate period of data collection.
