The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program is the premier source for cancer statistics in the US. It collects information on incidence, prevalence, and survival from specific geographic areas representing 48 percent of the US population. Through SEER, NCI develops 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.

SNOMED CT (Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms, the standard nomenclature of medicine) is a comprehensive and precise, multilingual health terminology system. It assists with the electronic exchange of clinical health information, can be mapped to other coding systems, and is a resource with extensive, scientifically validated clinical content. NLM serves as the United States National Release Center, is a member of SNOMED International, is responsible for creating and distributing the US Edition of SNOMED CT, and accepts content requests for inclusion in the US Edition of SNOMED CT. Collaborators such as the VA, National Cancer Institute, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, CDC, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and FDA have integrated SNOMED CT into their resources and provided requests for content in the US Edition of SNOMED CT. https://www.nlm.nih.gov/healthit/snomedct/index.html

NLM collaborates with NIST to develop the medical track series at the Text REtrieval Conference (TREC). This track series seeks to provide benchmark datasets and evaluate information retrieval systems focused on many of the most important information access problems in biomedicine and clinical decision support. Advances in biomedical information retrieval have the potential to improve the way biomedical information is accessed and increase the speed at which treatments are developed and disseminated into clinical practice. http://www.trec-cds.org

In February 2022, President Biden kickstarted the next phase of the Cancer Moonshot with bold new goals: to reduce the cancer death rate by half within 25 years and improve the lives of people with cancer and cancer survivors. The following month, the White House convened the Cancer Cabinet, bringing together departments and agencies from across the federal government to establish a prioritized agenda across government, including the development of new interagency programs and collaborations. The Cancer Cabinet includes members from 20 executive branch departments, agencies, and offices. Priority Actions for the Cancer Cabinet:Close the Screening Gap: Americans missed nearly 10 million cancer screenings as compared to prior years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Through targeted and coordinated programs, we should cut that deficit by providing access to more cancer screening opportunities and expand equitable access to cancer early detection.Decrease the Impact of Preventable Cancers: Thanks to scientific advancements, there are more tools today than ever before to prevent cancer. There are also healthy lifestyle choices like nutrition, tobacco cessation, others as well as tools such as the HPV vaccine and Hepatitis C antivirals that can prevent cervical, head and neck, and liver cancer, respectively. Additionally, advances in colonoscopy technology enable detection and removal of pre-cancerous growths to prevent the development of colon cancer in more individuals. Additional efforts are needed to expand access to these cancer-prevention approaches along with public health campaigns and community health efforts to ensure these preventative tools are reaching all populations. In doing so, there is opportunity to nearly or wholly eliminate certain cancer types.
