SEER-Medicare: File Sizes & Distribution
Data will be sent to investigators on CDs or DVDs. Researchers pay a set fee for the
cost of the media. The number of CDs or DVDs required
will vary according to the number of years requested and the size of the requested site
file. In general, the number of CDs required is seven times the number of DVDs.
The data files will be encrypted using PME and password-protected. The data files will
also be compressed using the GZIP compression utility. Programs will be made available to
decrypt and unzip the files onto the user's PC in the directory that the user specifies.
The PC must be equipped with Windows NT, Windows 95 or later. GUNZIP is necessary to unzip
the files if using a UNIX or Linux machine.
The following table provides some examples from recent productions. The files are
compressed before they are written to DVD, however, the file sizes provided are for the
files in their non-compressed format. The table shows the estimated size of files in
gigabytes and the number of DVDs for one major cancer site (lung) and for four major
cancer sites combined (breast, colorectal, lung and prostate). Also shown are estimates
and media requirements for the entire cancer and non-cancer databases.
