While SEER*Stat is a powerful tool, it has some limitations:
Data Coverage: SEER data cover only about one-third of the U.S. population, which may limit the generalizability of findings to the entire country. Data Lag: There is often a delay between data collection and availability, which can affect the timeliness of analyses. Limited Clinical Detail: SEER data may lack detailed information on treatment regimens and patient comorbidities.
