FIGURE 7 Distribution of Selected <strong>Cancer</strong>s by Race <strong>and</strong> Stage at Diagnosis, US, 1995 to 2001.<br />
*The distribution for localized stage represents localized <strong>and</strong> regional stages combined.<br />
Note: Staging according to Surveillance, Epidemiology, <strong>and</strong> End Results (SEER) historic stage categories rather than the American<br />
Joint Committee on <strong>Cancer</strong> (AJCC) staging system. For each type <strong>and</strong> race, stage categories do not total 100% because sufficient information<br />
is not available to assign a stage to all cancer cases.<br />
