The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) has devoted this monograph to examining cancer survival by patient and tumor characteristics for cancers diagnosed during the period 1988-2001. The analyses focus on cancer survival in adults aged 20 years and older, with the exceptions of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all ages), placenta (ages 15+), and Hodgkin lymphoma (ages 15+). This chapter describes the sources of the data and the methods used. It also provides a summary of the results. Each subsequent chapter focuses on a distinct anatomical site and associated histologies.
