Number of Cancer Cases with Diagnosis Codes

The Diagnosis Code tables were generated for all patients in the SEER file as well as breast, prostate, lung and colorectal cancer patients with MEDPAR, NCH and Outpatient claims. Please note that the SEER file includes SEER-linked cases diagnosed from 1999 to 2019, but only SEER cases diagnosed from 2000 to 2019 from the expansion registries: Greater California, New Jersey, Louisiana, Kentucky, Greater Georgia, Idaho, New York, Massachusetts, and Texas. These tables are limited to those diagnosis codes with 11 or more patients in any given calendar year. These tables should be used as aides to give you an estimate of the prevalence of medical diagnoses among the SEER-Medicare cancer cases.

International Classification of Diseases 9th Edition (ICD-9) Codes: (claims prior to October 2015)
