Age-standardized rates use the 2000 U.S. standard population (19 age groups); they are not comparable with rates standardized to the World (Segi) population used by IARC. Global comparisons are not available: the IARC Global Cancer Observatory remains under license review and the SEER API awaits credentials (CLAUDE.md §10.3-10.4). Only geographies with licensed observations get a page; see /countries.
