Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program

The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program is a comprehensive research initiative run by the U.S. National Cancer Institute. It collects and analyzes data on cancer cases across the United States, including information about cancer types, incidence rates, treatments, and survival outcomes. This data helps public health officials, researchers, and clinicians understand cancer trends, improve prevention strategies, and develop better treatments. By providing accurate and detailed statistics, SEER plays a crucial role in advancing cancer research and informing healthcare policies aimed at reducing the burden of cancer nationwide.
