*Asked of respondents that have a cancer diagnosis.
#Female reproductive cancer includes cervical cancer, cancer of the uterus, and ovarian cancer.
##Male reproductive cancer includes prostate and testicular cancer.
###See 2024 questionnaire for other types of cancer listed.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to changes in the weighting methodology and other factors, results from 2024 are NOT comparable to 2010
and earlier years.

***The estimate was suppressed because it did not meet statistical reliability standards. See BRFSS 2024 Annual Results Technical Notes for more details.

^Use caution in interpreting cell sizes less than 50, % = Percentage, C.I.(95%) = Confidence Interval (at 95 percent probability level).
Percentages are weighted to population characteristics and therefore cannot be calculated exactly from the numbers in this table.
