Please find enclosed a statement of the methodology we used including several caveats, a summary table, and a detailed table demonstrating the reduction in cancer deaths that could be achieved if differences by race or ethnicity could be eliminated. A few notes on what we've done: You asked us if we could illustrate the number and percent of deaths that would be avoided if all race or ethnic groups shared the same mortality risks for specific cancer sites.

Illustrating the differences between groups provides clues to form hypotheses on cancer causes, risk factors or biology. Secondly, for some cancer sites, we understand the causes and processes of cancer development sufficiently to be able to say how one group can achieve the lower risk shown by another group.

, age-specific deaths and death rates, and populations by race and ethnicity following the structure of the 1996 SEER publication cited in your letter (produced by NCI using NCHS and Census data) Method A: For specific cancer sites, we selected He group with the smallest age-adjusted death rate separately by sex.

6) The reduction for all cancer sites combined differs depending on whether the values are summed across specific cancer sites or is done separately.
