DEVELOPMENT OF A CD-ROM OF THE SEER DATABASE

SEER是一个基于人群的大型癌症登记数据库，由 在NCI的资助下维持。先知是一种众所周知的宝贵资源 用于癌症发病、治疗的客体离子流行病学研究 效力及相关事项。光盘是一种革命性的数据存储 使个人计算机能够以低廉的价格 处理大型数据库(650 MB/盘)。在第一阶段 (可行性)项目，使用NCHS光盘制作了一个原型产品 使SEER在PC上可用的软件。九个站点测试了该原型 版本和几位建议设计二期产品(S) 除了满足研究需要外，还要服务于教育。对于第二阶段，我们建议 完成产品的一个版本并将其商业化的步骤如下 改进：(L)增加额外的数据库(县级人口， 国家癌症死亡率，非SEER州癌症登记数据，其他)， (2)增加SEER的附加数据类型(疾病程度、辐射 处理，其他)，(3)为用户开发分析用户输入的新能力 数据集与CDSEER数据集的比较，以及(4)开发电子 支持癌症流行病学教学的教科书，并使用 其他CDSEER资源。

SEER is a large population-based cancer registry database produced and maintained under NCI funding. SEER is a well known and valuable resource for epidemiological research on guest ions of cancer incidence, treatment effectiveness and related matters. CD-ROM is a revolutionary data storage medium that makes it possible for personal computers to inexpensively process large databases (650 Mbytes/platter). In the phase I (feasibility) project, a prototype product was built using NCHS CD-ROM software to make SEER available on a pc. Nine sites tested the prototype version and several recommended that the phase II product(s) be designed to serve education in addition to research needs. For phase II we propose to complete and commercialize a version of the product with the following enhancements: (l) add additional databases (county level populations, National Cancer Mortality, non-SEER state cancer registry data, other), (2) add additional datatypes of SEER (extent of disease, radiation treatment, other), (3) develop new ability for user to analyze user input datasets in comparison with CDSEER datasets, and (4) develop an electronic textbook that will support the teaching of cancer epidemiology and use the other CDSEER resources.
