What is SEER incidence rate?

SEER Incidence Database SEER collects cancer incidence data from population-based cancer registries covering approximately 34.6 percent of the U.S. population.

What is SEER rating for cancer?

The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program provides information on cancer statistics in an effort to reduce the cancer burden among the U.S. population.

What is SEER Stat?

SEER*Stat is a statistical software that calculates raw data of cancer statistics, rates, and trends.

How do you calculate SEER incidence?

Incidence rate = (New cancers / Population) × 100,000 The numerator of the incidence rate is the number of new cancers; the denominator is the size of the population.

What does SEER stand for?

Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio
SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. This is the ratio of the cooling output of an air conditioner over a typical cooling season, divided by the energy it uses in Watt-Hours. It may also be called a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating.

Who runs SEER?

The mortality data reported by SEER are provided by CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics. The SEER Program issues a limited-use data set (formerly called the public use data file) for additional analyses by researchers and the public.

How do you calculate age specific incidence?

Age- and Sex-specific Rates. An age-specific rate is calculated by dividing the total number of health events for the specific age-group of interest by the total population in that age group.

How do you calculate prevalence per 100000?

For example, an incidence rate of 0.00877 per person-year = 0.008770 × 100,000 = 877 per 100,000 person-years.

Where does the SEER data come from for cancer?

SEER collects cancer incidence data from population-based cancer registries covering approximately 34.6 percent of the U.S. population. The SEER registriescollect data on patient demographics, primary tumor site, tumor morphology, stage at diagnosis, and first course of treatment, and they follow up with patients for vital status.

Which is the earliest stage of NSCLC cancer?

The earliest stage of NSCLC is stage 0 (also called carcinoma in situ, or CIS). Other stages range from I (1) through IV (4). As a rule, the lower the number, the less the cancer has spread. A higher number, such as stage IV, means cancer has spread more.

When was the first case of seer diagnosed?

Starting with the November 2018 Submission, the SEER Research Data include cases diagnosed starting with 1975 instead of 1973, and three new registries were added to a SEER 21 databases covering 2000-2016 cases.

What kind of data do seer registries collect?

The SEER registries collect data on patient demographics, primary tumor site, tumor morphology, stage at diagnosis, and first course of treatment, and they follow up with patients for vital status. There are now two data products available: SEER Research and SEER Research Plus.
