These systems do not perform calculations; instead they display reports using databases of statistics generated by other software. Many of these statistics are provided in the <a href="/csr/">SEER Cancer Statistics Review</a> and <a href="/explorer/">SEER*Explorer</a>. 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 other formats. Through this interface, you can: </p> <ul> <li>select the type of statistic and stratification variables used in the report; <li>select the format of the report by choosing from various table formats; and <li>extract the statistics, in a delimited format, for further analyses in other software. </ul> <p>The Cancer Query Systems provide access to the following statistical databases:</p> <ul> <li><a href="incidence.html">SEER Incidence Statistics</a> </li> <li><a href="mortality.html">U.S. Mortality Statistics</a> </li> <li><a href="survival.html">SEER Survival Statistics</a> </li> <li><a href="https://surveillance.cancer.gov/prevalence/canques.html">Cancer Prevalence Database</a> </li> <li><a href="https://surveillance.cancer.gov/devcan/canques.html">Probability of Developing or Dying from Cancer</a> </li> <li><a href="https://surveillance.cancer.gov/delay/canques.html">Delay-Adjusted SEER Incidence Rates</a> </li> </ul> <p>SEER provides cancer statistics in a variety of formats through <a href="/statistics/reports.html">Reports on Cancer</a>, <a href="/statistics/interactive.html">Interactive Tools</a>, and <a href="/publications/">Publications</a>.</p> </main> </div> <img src="/i/right-body.png" alt="" class="bg-back"></div> <div class="wrapper"> <meta http-equiv="last_modified" content="Fri, 24 Jul 2020 10:54:19 -0400" /> </div> </div>  <footer class="footer" role="contentinfo"> <a class="returntop" href="#content" style="display: inline;"><span>Return to Top</span></a> <div class="container-lg"> <div class="row justify-content-around"> <div class="col-lg-9"> <p class="seer-logo">SEER is supported by the <a href="https://surveillance.cancer.gov/">Surveillance Research Program (SRP)</a> in NCI's <a href="https://cancercontrol.cancer.gov/">Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS)</a>.
