  1. aThe sums can exceed the total because some patients were diagnosed with more than one malignancy. For patients diagnosed with more than one DNM within the same ICD-9 group (e.g., oral cavity ICD-9 codes: 140–149; leukemia ICD-9 codes: 204–208) only the first one was considered; bIt includes sites/types with < 2 observed cases, which were not shown in table; Obs., observed number of cancer cases; Exp., expected number of cancer cases
