SEER-Medicare Health Outcomes Survey (SEER-MHOS) Linked Data Resource

The SEER-MHOS data set is a resource to research health outcomes in cancer. It is based on a linkage between the NCI's Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) cancer registry and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS) Medicare Health Outcomes Survey (MHOS) that provides information about the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of Medicare Advantage Organization enrollees.
