Data on Cancer Incidence & Mortality (SEER)
 NCI's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Web site is the most authoritative source of information on cancer incidence and survival in the United States. SEER data, publications, and resources are available free of charge. The site's new Fast Stats function allows users to obtain charts, graphs, and tables for cancer incidence, mortality, and survival.
The SEER-Medicare data reflect the linkage of two large population-based sources of data that provide detailed information about elderly persons with cancer. The data come from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program of cancer registries that collect clinical, demographic and cause of death information for persons with cancer and the Medicare claims for covered health care services from the time of a person's Medicare eligibility until death.
National Longitudinal Mortality Study
In a collaboration begun in 1999 with the Census Bureau and other federal agencies, NCI is working to overcome the limited availability of sociodemographic information on death certificates and to obtain self-reported racial/ethnic data. This has involved the extension and expansion of the US National Longitudinal Mortality Study (NLMS) and linkage to the National Death Index. Other sponsoring agencies are the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute; the National Institute on Aging; and the National Center for Health Statistics. Expected to add data on 60,000 cancer deaths, this linkage will allow an in-depth analysis of racial/ethnic, socioeconomic and occupational differentials in cancer mortality for the major cancer sites.
