Cancer Surveillance Coding Rules and Comparability with Analyses. RIESSEARCH, LLC

SEER从特定地理区域收集关于发病率、存活率和患病率的信息，并汇编关于所有这些区域以及整个美国的癌症死亡率的报告。关于美国癌症监测的国家框架的Sentinel 2005论文（Wingo等人，Cancer Causes and Control 16：151-170，2005）表征了SEER、其他登记、临床和支付者系统、健康调查和其他信息源的至关重要性。通过特别研究，与区域和国家数据源的联系，以及与其他监测伙伴的合作，SEER计划的高级领导人一直处于开发和部署创新数据编码系统，应用信息系统和技术工具以及分析方法的先锋地位，以推进业务，质量，效用，性能，和解释国家癌症负担和建立在SEER计划的进展。它还提供必要的数据，以支持NCI和美国及世界各地的合作组织的研究和决策。

SEER collects information on incidence, survival, and prevalence from specific geographic areas and compiles reports on all of these areas plus cancer mortality for the entire U.S. The sentinel 2005 paper on a national framework for cancer surveillance in the U.S. (Wingo et al, Cancer Causes and Control 16:151-170, 2005) characterizes the critical importance of SEER, other registries, clinical and payer systems, health surveys, and other information sources. Through special studies, linkage to regional and national data sources, as well as collaborations with other surveillance partners, senior leaders in the SEER Program have been in the vanguard of developing and deploying innovative data coding systems, applied information systems and technical tools, and analytical methodology to advance operations, quality, utility, performance, and interpretation of national cancer burden and progress built on the SEER Program. It also provides essential data to support research and decision-making across the NCI and collaborating organizations in the U.S. and around the world.
