Subsequent Primary Cancer Incidence Trends Following an Index Cancer, 1975–2019

Estimated annual percent change of subsequent primary cancer incidence among individuals diagnosed with an index cancer. Data originates from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program. The dataset is a 5.5 KB Excel file authored by Hui G. Cheng and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling temporal trends in subsequent cancer risk based on estimated annual percent change data
• Analyzing patterns of multiple primary cancers based on index cancer diagnoses
• Informing cancer survivorship care and secondary prevention strategies based on incidence trends

Strengths

• Data is sourced from the authoritative SEER program, a major cancer surveillance system.
• Covers a long temporal range from 1975 to 2019.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope or aggregated summary data.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
