SEER Data

Meaning

SEER Data refers to the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program data, which is a comprehensive, population-based collection of cancer incidence and survival statistics maintained by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in the United States. This extensive dataset is an invaluable resource in the hormonal health space for researchers studying the epidemiology of hormone-sensitive cancers, such as breast, prostate, and endometrial malignancies. Clinicians and scientists use SEER data to track trends in cancer diagnosis, evaluate the long-term impact of hormonal risk factors, and assess the effectiveness of treatment modalities, including hormone therapy and endocrine-disrupting agent exposure.
