Reports provide information on cancer of all types combined and the 23 cancer sites most frequently diagnosed in NH residents using incidence data acquired by the NH State Cancer Registry (NHSCR) and mortality data from the NH Vital Records Administration. For comparison purposes, national incidence rates are presented from the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program, SEER Cancer Incidence Public-Use Database, 1973-1998 using SEER Stat; and US white mortality rates are presented from the National Mortality Data Base (NMDB) using CDC WONDER provided by the National Center for Health Statistics. This information can be used at the state and county level to identify the burden of morbidity and mortality associated with each type of cancer. Combined with information on cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment, it is useful for program planning and policy development aimed at reducing the burden of cancer.
