- Annual Report to the Nation
This report provides long-term trends in cancer incidence rates and mortality rates for all races combined. - Cancer Statistics Review, 1975-2020
The SEER Cancer Statistics Review (CSR), a report of the most recent cancer incidence, mortality, survival, prevalence, and lifetime risk statistics, is published annually by NCI's Surveillance Research Program. - Cancer Trends Progress Report
This report summarizes our nation's progress against cancer in relation to Healthy People 2030 targets set forth by the Department of Health and Human Services. It includes key measures of progress along the cancer control continuum and uses national trend data to illustrate where advancements have been made. - Cancer Prevalence and Cost of Care Projections
This site is based on a study that estimates and projects the national cost of cancer care through the year 2020 separately for multiple cancer sites using the most recent available U.S. population projections, cancer incidence, survival, and cost of care data. - NCI Cancer Atlas
This tool allows users to create maps of cancer statistics, demographics, and risk factors. - SEER*Explorer
This interactive website provides easy access to a wide range of cancer statistics from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program. - SEER-Medicare Linked Database
The SEER-Medicare datasets consist of linkages to the clinical data collected by the SEER registries about claims for health services collected by Medicare for its beneficiaries. - State Cancer Profiles
A system to characterize the cancer burden in a standardized manner in order to motivate action, integrate surveillance into cancer control planning, characterize areas and demographic groups, and expose health disparities. The focus is on cancer sites for which there are evidence based control interventions. Epidemiologists may find this site useful for exploring cancer statistics to identify research opportunities.
