The SEER*Rx tool is a resource for oncology data specialists (ODS) to help with collecting and coding treatment for cancer surveillance. It is not intended to provide medical information, advice, or guide clinical care. NCI urges users to consult with a qualified physician for answers to their personal medical questions.

Support Resources

SEER*Rx was developed as a one-step lookup for coding oncology drug and regimen treatment categories in cancer registries. The information in this database is effective for cancer diagnoses made on January 1, 2005 and after. Review and recoding of drugs from previous years is not required or recommended.
