These tutorials provide step-by-step instructions for using SEER*Stat to calculate statistics, view database values, and export results.

The tutorials were developed for SEER*Stat Version 8.4.5 and the 1975-2021 SEER Data. They will be updated for Version 9.0.40 in the near future. In the meantime, while some steps will be slightly different, you should still be able to follow the steps with Version 9.0.40. See the SEER*Stat help system for a description of the statistics calculated by SEER*Stat.
