Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Public Health Surveillance
  • Biostatistics

Background:

  • The National Cancer Institute maintains the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database.
  • SEER data is derived from population-based registries covering a representative 10% of the U.S. population.
  • Data encompasses all cancers except superficial skin cancers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Introduce SeerQuery, a personal computer program designed for accessing SEER data.
  • Facilitate efficient and cost-effective retrieval of cancer incidence and survival statistics.
  • Enable healthcare professionals to directly query the SEER database.

Main Methods:

  • SeerQuery utilizes CD-ROM technology for data storage and access.
  • The program features a menu-driven interface for user-friendly operation.

  • Allows querying based on variables like cancer site, histology, stage, demographics, and race.

    • Main Results:

    • SeerQuery provides rapid access to comprehensive cancer data.
    • Enables users to determine cancer frequency, incidence, and survival rates.
    • Offers cross-tabulation capabilities for in-depth analysis.

    Conclusions:

    • SeerQuery overcomes selection biases present in other data sources.
    • The software supports professional medical education and cancer control planning.
    • Facilitates informed decision-making in cancer program planning and resource allocation.
