Oh, the about 15% of diagnoses of breast cancer in the 40's age group, should be at least 17.5%.
Approximately 0.0% were diagnosed under age 20; 1.9% between 20 and 34; 10.5% between 35 and 44; 22.5% between 45 and 54; 23.7% between 55 and 64; 19.6% between 65 and 74; 16.2% between 75 and 84; and 5.5% 85+ years of age.

Also the NCI SEER data isn't the statistics for the entire US population though it is large - its based on state and local registries and includes:
The following population-based cancer registries are part of the SEER program.
Alaska Native Tumor Registry
Arizona Indians
Los Angeles
San Francisco-Oakland
San Jose-Monterey
Greater California
Connecticut
Detroit
Atlanta
Rural Georgia
Hawaii
Iowa
Kentucky
Louisiana
New Jersey
New Mexico
Seattle-Puget Sound
Utah
.....
SEER Registry Groupings for Analyses
The following combinations of the SEER registries are commonly used in various statistical analyses.
SEER 9 Registries
The SEER 9 registries are Atlanta, Connecticut, Detroit, Hawaii, Iowa, New Mexico, San Francisco-Oakland, Seattle-Puget Sound, and Utah. Data are available for cases diagnosed from 1973 and later for these registries with the exception of Seattle-Puget Sound and Atlanta. The Seattle-Puget Sound and Atlanta registries joined the SEER program in 1974 and 1975, respectively.
SEER 11 Registries
The SEER 11 registries consist of the SEER 9, as described above, plus Los Angeles and San Jose-Monterey. Los Angeles and San Jose-Monterey joined the SEER program in 1992. Therefore, data for the SEER 11 are available from 1992 on.
SEER 13 Registries
The SEER 13 registries consist of the SEER 11, as described above, plus Rural Georgia and the Alaska Native Tumor Registry. Data are available from all cases diagnosed from 1992 and later for these registries. These registries report on expanded race.
SEER 17 Registries
The SEER 17 registries consist of the SEER 13, as described above, plus Greater California, Kentucky, Louisiana, and New Jersey. Data are available from all cases diagnosed from 2000 and later for these registries. Louisiana cases diagnosed from July - December 2005 are excluded from most statistical analyses: all Louisiana cases are excluded from prevalence analyses. See Adjustments for Areas Impacted by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita for more information.
Statistics for Diagnosis Years 1973-2006
Statistics that do not require population data to calculate (e.g., frequencies and survival) are often reported for years prior to 2000 for the SEER 17 areas, and prior to 1992 for the SEER 13 areas. For these statistics, the SEER 9 registries contribute cases diagnosed from 1973 through 2006, except for Seattle-Puget Sound and Atlanta, which contribute cases beginning with 1974 and 1975, respectively. Los Angeles, San Jose-Monterey, Rural Georgia and the Alaska Native Tumor Registry contribute cases from the period 1992-2006; and Greater California, Kentucky, Louisiana, and New Jersey contribute cases from 2000-2006, with the exception of the July - December 2005 Louisiana cases.
I was thinking if the entire nations cancer stats were all available in one place for decades why would anyone do a study with their own sample? |
