SEER is the premier source for cancer statistics in the United States. It collects information on incidence, prevalence and survival from specific geographic areas representing 26 percent of the US population. Through SEER, we develop reports on all of these information areas plus cancer mortality for the entire country. The site is intended for anyone interested in US cancer statistics or cancer surveillance methods.

NLM is collaborating with AHRQ on the Evidence-based Practice Center (EPC) at Tufts Medical Center to construct a Web-based electronic repository of systematic review data. As envisioned, this resource would serve as both an archive and data extraction tool, enabling the creation of a central database of systematic review findings, which would be made available to a range of audiences in an effort to facilitate evidence reviews and thus improve and speed policy-making with regards to healthcare.
