Monographs

2014

• Collaborative Staging and Its Impact on Cancer Registry Data: Information for Data Users on Analysis and Interpretation of Registry Data
  Describes the information collected under Collaborative Stage versions 1 and 2 within the SEER Program for eight common cancer sites. Each paper discusses how changes between the AJCC 6^th and 7^th editions affect stage distributions and trends, quantifies the potential impacts on outcomes and incidence trends, and describes the site-specific factors (SSFs) in detail, with particular emphasis on those newly collected in 2010 (CS version 2).
• Cancer Survival From a Policy and Clinical Perspective: U.S. Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program, 1975-2010
  Numerous methods and measures of cancer survival for cancer registry data have been developed, but not all are well known or in common use. The monograph introduces these cancer registry survival measures to a broad audience.

2008

• An Update on Cancer in American Indians and Alaska Natives, 1999-2004
  Provides a comprehensive description of the cancer burden in the American Indian/ Alaska Native population in the United States.

2007

• Selected Comparisons of Measures of Health Disparities: A Review Using Databases Relevant to Healthy People 2010 Cancer-Related Objectives
  Provides an empirical analysis for methods appropriate for the measurement of cancer disparities.
• SEER Survival Monograph: Cancer Survival Among Adults: U.S. SEER Program, 1988-2001, Patient and Tumor Characteristics
  Examines cancer survival by patient and tumor characteristics for over 1.6 million adult cancers diagnosed during the period 1988-2001.

2006

• Cancer Epidemiology in Older Adolescents and Young Adults 15 to 29 Years of Age, Including SEER Incidence and Survival: 1975-2000
  Gathers population-based incidence, mortality, and survival data specific to cancers that occur in the adolescents and young adults, along with epidemiological data and risk factors for the development of age-specific cancers.
• New Malignancies Among Cancer Survivors: SEER Cancer Registries, 1973-2000
  Reports on the risk of new malignancies that have arisen among more than 2 million SEER cancer survivors for the period 1973 to 2000.

  Provides an empirical analysis for methods appropriate for the measurement of cancer disparities.

2003

• Area Socioeconomic Variations in U.S. Cancer Incidence, Mortality, Stage, Treatment, and Survival, 1975–1999

• U.S. Predicted Cancer Incidence, 1999: Complete Maps by County and State from Spatial Projection Models
  Presents results computed by a spatial projection model that predicts the number of cases in each county based on the sociodemographic and lifestyle profile for that county.

1999

• Cancer Incidence and Survival among Children and Adolescents, 1975-1995
