If you have been unable to find the information you need in our online resources, you can contact NCI’s SEER Program. Answers to specific statistical questions may involve complex databases. Please allow up to 2 weeks for a response.

Cancer Stat Facts, a collection of statistical summaries for a number of common cancer types, provide a quick overview of frequently-requested cancer statistics.

If you are interested in performing your own statistical analysis of available data, SEER*Stat statistical software provides a mechanism for the analysis of SEER and other cancer-related databases.
