• A statistical method allowing comparisons of populations that takes into account age-distribution differences between populations. Most incidence and death data in SEER are age-adjusted, although some tables, in contrast, present the crude rate. Age-adjusting takes the 2000 US population distribution and applies it to other time periods under consideration. This assures that such rates do not reflect any changes in the population age distribution. Rates can be adjusted for the distribution of other characteristics such as race/ethnicity.

  Most data in SEER have been age-adjusted to the 2000 US standard population. This allows comparison across racial groups taking into account differences in age structure of the populations. For example, the average age of many Hispanic/Latino populations is less than that of other racial/ethnic groups. Therefore, it sometimes appears that these groups have lower cancer incidence rates than other groups. However, by adjusting for age, more accurate comparisons can be made. See Calculating Age-adjusted Rates for further information.

• The average annual percent change over several years. The APC is used to measure trends or the change in rates over time. For information on how this is calculated, go to Trend Algortihms in the SEER*Stat Help system. The calculation involves fitting a straight line to the natural logarithm of the data when it is displayed by calendar year.

• A joint effort by several organizations to develop standard computerized methods for determining the stage of cancer based on tumor size, extension of the primary tumor, lymph node involvement, and metastases. This algorithm allows one to obtain both the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage and the SEER historic stage. The AJCC stage is used clinically, but its definitions change over time. The definitions of the SEER historic stages have remained constant over time.

• An estimated range of values which is likely to include an unknown population parameter. The 95% (p-value = .05) and 99% (p-value = .01) confidence intervals are the most commonly used.

  If an estimated annual percentage change (APC) is -2.44 with a 95% confidence interval of (-2.83, -2.05), then we are 95% confident that the actual APC is between a decrease of -2.83% and a decrease of 2.05%. Inversely, there is still a 5% chance that the actual APC is not in the confidence interval (between the upper and lower confidence limits).
