JAMA. 1999;281:2089.

In the Medical News & Perspectives article entitled "Leading Sites of New Cancer Cases and Deaths—1999 Estimates" published in the February 3, 1999, issue of THE JOURNAL (1999;281:405), wording and a number in the graphic are incorrect. The heading over the pair of figures on the left should have read "Cancer Cases by Site and Sex." In the Male figure of the same pair, the number under "All Sites" should be 623,800.
