Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (SEER)

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 rates, and trends across different populations and regions. This data helps researchers, healthcare providers, and policymakers understand how common cancers are, which groups are most affected, and how treatments are improving outcomes. In essence, SEER provides vital insights that support cancer research, prevention, and control efforts to improve patient care nationwide.
