The Cancer Statistics Query allows you to generate tables for types of cancer, categorized
by Year, Age Group, Sex, Race, and County.
The KIC system will suppress small numbers or publish totals as a range in order to protect patient
confidentiality. If your query is too specific, then the table values will be filled in with # signs
to let you know that confidentiality rules have been invoked. If this happens, simply make your query
more general.
While every effort is made to assure the KIC data summaries parallel the results in reports
published by the Kansas Cancer Registry, some slight
differences may occur. The Kansas Cancer Registry annual reports are generally completed within
one year of the year analyzed. However data continues to be reported to the Registry after the
report is issued. Source files for the KIC system are continually being updated. When available
that updated data will be added to KIC. Since the results for past years are updated annually, queries about past years,
of that sum across years, will not match the results of the same query performed before any intervening updates. When the age, race, county of residence or any of the cancer
outcomes are not stated or unknown, these values are not in a separate column. In some instances you
will be able to calculate the number of not stated or unknown values by deducting the sum of the all
of the categories of known values from the total number of types of cancer.
Population-based rates for certain cancers require the use of gender-specific population data.
You will be advised of this requirement when you select one of the six types of cancers and choose
to calculate rates.
For more information please read the
KIC documentation.

You can create a table query of cancer data by any combination of the row or column variables. You can also limit the results to a single category of any other variable. 2006 is the most current year.
