The Cancer Query Systems are data retrieval applications that provide access to cancer
statistics stored in online databases. These systems do not perform calculations, they
display reports using databases of statistics generated by other software. Many of these
statistics are provided in the SEER Cancer Statistics Review or other
SEER Statistical Publications. The Cancer Query Systems have a
Web-based interface that allows you to retrieve the statistics relevant to your research that you
may not have found in a published format. Through this interface, you can
- select the type of statistic and stratification variables used in the report;
- select the format of the report by choosing from various table and graph formats; and
- extract the statistics, in a delimited format, for further analyses in other software.
The Cancer Query Systems provide access to the following statistical databases:
SEER provides Cancer Statistics in a variety of formats, including the
Cancer Query Systems listed above, SEER Statistical Publications, and
the Fast Stats
system.
