In this article (1), which was published in the June 2010 issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, it was reported that early stage disease has declined by 1.6% per year since 1999. The reported 95% confidence interval of 9.5% and 7.0% is incorrect. The correct 95% confidence interval around the 1.6% decline is −9.5% and 7.0%.
