Mortality statistics through 2008 are now available.
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 the Data Analysis and Interpretation Branch of the NCI. The scope and purpose of this work are consistent with a report to the Senate Appropriations Committee (Breslow, 1988) which recommended that a broad profile of cancer be presented to the American public on a routine basis. This edition includes statistics from 1975 through 2008, the most recent year for which data are available.
There are three ways to access the statistics in the CSR:
- Browse the Tables and Figures - statistics are presented in HTML format based on user selections.
- Access Contents in PDF - statistics are provided in sections by cancer site and topical groupings.
- Generate Custom Reports - individual pages can be extracted and grouped into custom-made PDFs.
