Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)

Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) is a national program in the United States that collects and analyzes data on cancer. It helps track how many people get cancer, how they respond to treatment, and their survival rates. By monitoring cancer trends across different populations and regions, SEER provides valuable information that researchers and public health officials use to understand cancer better, inform prevention strategies, and improve treatment options. The data helps shape cancer research, health policy, and support for patients and families affected by cancer.
