CORRECTION:
In the November/December 2020 issue, Addressing Disparities of Adolescent and Young Adult Patients in the Treatment of Malignant Disease in Delaware concluded that there was an increased incidence of cervical cancer in non-Hispanic African American females in Delaware compared to the U.S. However, this conclusion
is incorrect since there were fewer than 25 cases in Delaware and therefore a statistically reliable incidence rate could not be calculated due to too much variability in prediction. Therefore, Delaware incidence can be assumed to be lower than the U.S. incidence.
