Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program, 2000-2007. Registries meeting United States Cancer Statistics<br />

publication criteria for every year, 2000-2007, are included and cover 89.3% of the total U.S. population. States excluded are DC,<br />

Mississippi, Nevada, North Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Virginia.<br />

Denominator: Women age 40 and over.<br />

Note: For this measure, lower rates are better. Age adjusted to the 2000 U.S. standard population. Advanced stage breast cancer is<br />

defined as local stage with tumor size greater than 2 cm diameter, regional stage or distant stage.<br />

n From 2000 to 2007, the rate of advanced stage breast cancer in Black women increased from 99 to<br />

108 per 100,000 women. There were no statistically significant changes in rates among other racial<br />

and ethnic groups (Figure 2.2).<br />

n In all years, rates were lower among Asian or Pacific Islander (API) and American Indian or Alaska<br />

Native (AI/AN) women compared with White women and among Hispanic women compared with<br />

non-Hispanic White women. Since 2003, rates have been higher among Black women compared<br />

with White women.<br />

n The 2007 top 5 State achievable benchmark was 79 per 100,000 women. v AI/AN, API, and Hispanic<br />

women have achieved the benchmark while Black women are moving away from it.<br />

Also, in the NHQR:<br />

n In all years, women ages 50-64 and 65 and over had higher rates than women ages 40-49.<br />

v<br />

The top 5 States contributing to the achievable benchmark are Arizona, Florida, New Hampshire, West Virginia, and Wyoming.<br />
