Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results

The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program is a comprehensive source of information on cancer statistics in the United States. Managed by the National Cancer Institute, it collects data on cancer incidence, prevalence, survival, and trends from various registries. This information helps researchers, doctors, and policymakers understand how common different cancers are, identify risk factors, and evaluate treatment outcomes. SEER’s data support efforts to improve cancer prevention, early detection, and patient care, ultimately aiming to reduce the impact of cancer nationwide.
