Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registries
SEER registries are specialized databases maintained by the National Cancer Institute that collect detailed information about cancer cases across the United States. They track who is affected by cancer, what types they have, treatments received, and outcomes. This data helps researchers understand patterns, identify risk factors, improve treatments, and guide public health policies. By monitoring trends over time and across regions, SEER provides valuable insights to improve cancer prevention, detection, and care for the population.
