Beyond the data/software package SEER*Stat, which resource is available on the SEER website for statistical inquiries?

• A. Cancer Query System (CANQUES)
• B. Fast*Stats
• C. Statistical Fact Sheets
• D. Public-use data files

Answer: (C)

Statistical Fact Sheets provide ready-to-use SEER statistics for common questions about cancer incidence, mortality, and survival. They’re concise summaries hosted on the SEER site that organize data by cancer site, demographic groups, and time period, and they show trends without needing to run any analyses. This makes them ideal for quick inquiries, reports, or teaching moments when you want authoritative numbers without pulling raw data or building a custom query. While interactive tools like CANQUES or FastStats exist for pulling statistics or viewing specific figures, the Statistical Fact Sheets are designed specifically as quick, reference-ready summaries. Public-use data files are raw datasets that require processing, not ready-to-read statistics.
