SEER Cancer Statistics Review, 1975-2001

The SEER Cancer Statistics Review (CSR), a report of the most recent cancer incidence, mortality, survival, and prevalence statistics, is published annually by the Cancer Statistics 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 incidence, mortality, survival, and prevalence statistics from 1975 through 2001, the most recent year for which data are available.

Because NCI cancer rates are calculated by dividing the number of cancer cases (numerator) by a census-generated denominator, the rates can be heavily influenced by changes or uncertainties in census counts (see How Changes in U.S. Census Counts Affect NCI Cancer Rates).

The Cancer Statistics Review, 1975-2001 is provided in PDF files. Pages from the CSR can also be extracted from the CSR sections and grouped into custom-made PDFs using the CSR search. Use the following links to access tables and graphs in the CSR:
