Registries That Met U.S. Cancer Statistics Publication Criteria

Overview

Publication criteria were assessed based on data submitted to CDC's National Program of Cancer Registries and the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program in 2025. Criteria must be met for all diagnosis years for the combined 2019 to 2023 data. Segments of a registry's data may be suppressed when that information is found to be unstable or does not meet the publication criteria.
