Software Used to Generate Statistics for the SEER Cancer Statistics Review

The SEER Cancer Statistics Review, 1975-2005 includes statistics generated by a variety of statistical software including:

SEER*Stat, statistical software for the analysis of SEER and other cancer databases, was used to generate incidence, mortality, prevalence, and survival statistics presented in the CSR.
Analysis generated by the Joinpoint Regression Program are presented to better describe trends that are not constant over time.
The DevCan system generated the probability of developing cancer from twelve SEER areas and the probability of dying from cancer from the total United States.
The ComPrev software was used to calculate complete prevalence estimates.

Additional statistics can be obtained via SEER's Cancer Query Systems. These data retrieval applications provide access to pre-calculated cancer statistics stored in online databases.
