Erratum:Annual Report to the Nation on the Status of Cancer,1975-2000, Featuring the Uses of Surveillance Data for CancerPrevention and Control by Weir et al. [J Natl Cancer Inst 2003;95:1276-99(Issue 17)]. On page 1281, in the Lung Cancer and Tobacco Usesection of Results, the fifth sentence should read: Delaware,Oklahoma, and West Virginia reported increasing tobacco consumption.On page 1283, in the "Prostate Cancer section of Results, thethird sentence should read: [Prostate cancer] death rates forwhite men ranged from 36.9 per 100 000 men in Wyoming to 24.8per 100 000 men in Alaska. On page 1289, some of the data inTable 5 Prevalence of prostate-specific antigen testing, incidenceof prostate cancer and prostate cancer death rates among blackand white men by state are incorrect. On pages 1290-2, someof the data for Table 6 Prevalence of colorectal cancer screening,incidence of colorectal cancer, and colorectal cancer deathrates by blacks and whites by state are incorrect. The correctedtables are available in the electronic version of the Journal(http://jncicancerspectrum.oupjournals. org/jnci/content/vol95issue21/).The errors in both Tables 5 and 6 occurred when the incidence,mortality, and risk factor data were sorted into tertiles, andsome of the data were assigned to the wrong states. Consequently,the original version of Table 5 contains erroneous data for17 states, including citing Maryland as having the highest prostatecancer death rate and Hawaii as having the lowest prostate cancerdeath rate. The original version of Table 6 contains erroneousdata for 20 states. However, this error did not affect our conclusionsregarding colorectal cancer. The authors regret the errors.
