SEER program (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results)

The SEER program (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results) is a comprehensive research initiative by the U.S. National Cancer Institute that collects and analyses data on cancer cases across the country. It tracks who gets cancer, types of cancer, treatments used, and survival rates. This information helps healthcare providers, researchers, and policymakers understand cancer trends, improve prevention strategies, and develop better treatments. SEER covers a diverse population and provides valuable insights to advance cancer research and public health efforts.
