Descriptive Epidemiology Resources

Age Period Cohort Analysis Web Tool
A panel of easy-to-interpret estimable Age-Period-Cohort functions and corresponding Wald tests in R code that can be accessed through a user-friendly web tool.

NCI Cancer Atlas
NCI Cancer Atlas is a mapping tool designed to provide visualization of national cancer data. The tool enables users to create maps of cancer statistics, demographics, and risk factors for use in research. It was expanded with cancer mortality data previously available through the legacy Cancer Mortality Maps application.

MP-SIR SEER*Stat
Interactive PC-based software module developed to perform multiple primary analyses with the goal of facilitating research into the etiology of second cancers. It calculates standardized incidence ratios by:

  • Second cancer site
  • Histology
  • Treatment
  • Sex
  • Race
  • Calendar year
  • Age and time since diagnosis
  • Registry

Utilizing the NCI Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, the program allows scientists within and outside of NIH to test hypotheses about the relationships between two cancers on their PCs.
