The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program, an authoritative source of cancer statistics in the United States, has been funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) since 1973. The goals of SEER include measuring the cancer burden in the United States, making the results available, and supporting cancer research. These goals render products that serve as resources for different audiences, such as cancer registrars, researchers, and the public. Cancer registrars have access to a dedicated tab on the SEER website for questions, assistance with cancer coding, and training and technical resources such as SEERRx and SEER Data Management System (SEERDMS). For researchers, SEER provides access to databases and software such as SEERStat and other linked databases such as SEER-Medicare that may offer answers to emerging issues in the field of cancer outcomes, cancer burden, health disparities, healthcare access, diagnosis, and prevention. The public can access cancer materials such as the SEER Cancer Stat Facts sheets, SEERExplorer, and Did You Know? video series to learn more about cancer. SEER continues to update its resources with and ahead of legislation such as the Plain Writing Act and 21st Century Integrated Digital Experience Act (IDEA) to improve both clarity and user experience. Moving forward, SEER continues to promote awareness of SEER resources, remains accessible and understandable across all audiences, and standardizes how new resources are shared with these groups. The longstanding commitment to making cancer resources available is fundamental to the value of SEER, as evidenced by testimonials from members of various audience types.
监测、流行病学和最终结果（SEER）计划是美国癌症统计数据的权威来源，自 1973 年以来一直由美国国家癌症研究所（NCI）资助。SEER 的目标包括衡量美国的癌症负担，提供结果，并支持癌症研究。这些目标产生了各种受众的资源产品，如癌症登记员、研究人员和公众。癌症登记员可以在 SEER 网站上访问一个专门的标签，用于提问、癌症编码协助以及培训和技术资源，如 SEERRx 和 SEER 数据管理系统（SEERDMS）。对于研究人员，SEER 提供了对数据库和软件的访问，如 SEERStat 和其他相关数据库，如 SEER-Medicare，这些数据库可能为癌症结果、癌症负担、健康差异、医疗保健获取、诊断和预防等领域的新问题提供答案。公众可以访问癌症材料，如 SEER 癌症统计事实表、SEERExplorer 和“你知道吗？”视频系列，以了解更多关于癌症的信息。SEER 继续根据《简明写作法》和 21 世纪综合数字体验法（IDEA）等法规更新其资源，以提高清晰度和用户体验。展望未来，SEER 将继续提高对 SEER 资源的认识，保持在所有受众中的可访问性和可理解性，并为这些群体如何共享新资源制定标准。为使癌症资源可用而做出的长期承诺是 SEER 价值的基础，这一点可以从各种受众类型的成员的证词中得到证明。
