SEER Explorer¶
SEER Explorer matters when a disease question is really a cancer-outcome question and you need a population-level survival anchor instead of more genes, pathways, or phenotype context.
In BioMCP, SEER Explorer is visible through the disease survival section. That section ships a sex-split, all-ages and all-races 5-year relative survival view for mapped cancer sites, and because the integration relies on undocumented SEER Explorer UI endpoints, BioMCP falls back to a stable note when a disease does not map cleanly or the upstream is unavailable.
What BioMCP exposes¶
| Command | What BioMCP gets from this source | Integration note |
|---|---|---|
get disease <id> survival |
Latest observed 5-year relative survival by sex plus recent yearly history | Opt-in disease section backed by the live SEER site catalog and filtered to all ages / all races |
get disease <id> all |
Adds disease survival when the normalized disease maps to one SEER cancer site | Included in all; unmapped or unavailable cases render a stable note instead of an error |
Example commands¶
Returns the SEER-backed survival section for the mapped CML site with latest observed survival by sex.
Returns disease survival data for another mapped cancer label and confirms the site resolver is not CML-specific.
Returns the stable no-data note when the disease does not map to one SEER cancer site.
Returns the full disease card with the survival section included alongside the other non-key-gated disease sections.
