Alaska Facts and Figures 2014-2018 Alaska Resident Leading Causes of Cancer Deaths
The Alaska Facts and Figures tables were prepared by the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services, Division of Public Health, Health Analytics and Vital Records Section. These tables summarize mortality data from Alaska Vital Statistics during a 5-year period, from 2014 to 2018, on the leading causes of Alaska resident malignant neoplasm deaths, also known as cancers.
Additional Information
• The statistics provided in the tables reflect data from Alaska residents only. Counts and rates may differ from other reports or publications that presentdata for deaths that occurred in Alaska, regardless of residency.
• These tables provide counts and rates for the leading causes of deaths due to malignant neoplasms (cancer).o Twenty four types of cancer, based on the tenth revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) underlying cause of
death codes (between C00 and C97X), are counted and categorized before ranking the leading categories.o The ten Cause of Cancer Death categories having the highest number of deaths are listed for the tables by Year and for the tables by Sex. For the
tables by Race, Age Group, and Regional Area (Public Health Region), only the top three cancer categories are listed.• These tables also provide the sum of Years of Potential Life Lost (YPLL), YPLL rates, and the average YPLL for each of the leading causes of death. YPLL
measures the impact of premature mortality, and is defined as the difference between an expected natural lifespan (assumed here as 75 years), and theactual age of death before that time. The YPLL rates are defined as the number of years of potential life lost per 100,000 population under the age of 75years old.
• Gender-specific cancer mortality rates are calculated using the population for just one gender as the denominator. “Prostate” cancer is male specific.“Breast”, “Corpus Uteri and Uterus”, and “Ovary” cancer are female specific. Although males can be diagnosed with “Breast” cancer (a rare occurrence),they are not included in the counts.
• The counts in the cancer categories are mutually exclusive. A cancer death is counted in only one cancer category based on the underlying cause ofdeath which is classified by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) using the death certificate narrative by the physician or medical examiner.
• Any rate based on fewer than 6 events is not reported, and any rate based on fewer than 20 events is statistically unreliable and should be interpretedwith caution. Due to relatively small numbers of cases, only the overall total (unstratified) rankings are for a single year are reported. The tablesstratified by Sex, Race, Age Group, and Regional Area show counts totaled for five year periods from 2009-2013 through 2013-2017.
• Age-adjusted rates were adjusted by year 2000 standard population ratios. For more information see the Healthy People Statistical Notes on Ageadjustment using the 2000 projected U.S. population, January 2001.
• The single-race population estimates used to calculate rates in these tables are provided by the Alaska Department of Labor and WorkforceDevelopment, Research and Analysis Section, Demographics Unit.
