Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Electronic Pathology Software

SEER计划目前从20个以人口为基础的癌症登记机构收集和发布癌症发病率和存活率数据，覆盖大约28%的美国人口。SEER数据库收录了770多万例原位和浸润性癌症病例的信息，在SEER集水区每年约有45万例新病例。SEER登记处常规收集关于患者人口统计、原发肿瘤部位、形态、诊断阶段、第一疗程治疗以及生命状态随访的数据。SEER计划是美国唯一全面的基于人群的信息来源，包括诊断时的癌症阶段和每个阶段的存活率。

The SEER Program currently collects and publishes cancer incidence and survival data from 20 population-based cancer registries covering approximately 28 percent of the US population. Information on more than 7.7 million in situ and invasive cancer cases is included in the SEER database, and approximately 450,000 new cases are accessioned each year within the SEER catchment areas. The SEER registries routinely collect data on patient demographics, primary tumor site, morphology, and stage at diagnosis, first course of treatment, and follow-up for vital status. The SEER Program is the only comprehensive source of population-based information in the United States that includes stage of cancer at the time of diagnosis and survival rates within each stage.
