CHANGES IN CODING REQUIREMENTS AND REPORTABILITY
![Page 3: 2015 CHANGES IN REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND CANCER CODING INSTRUCTIONS KENTUCKY CANCER REGISTRY SPRING TRAINING 2015 PRESENTED BY FRANCES ROSS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ed35503460f94be2e84/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
CHANGES IN REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Pathologic stage data elements T, N, M and Stage Group are now required to be coded (not merely ‘recommended’), according to AJCC rules.However, blanks are allowed in the cT, cN, cM and pT, pN, pM
fields, but not in the cStage Group or pStage Group.Blanks are used when there is no information in the record; or
you do not know if an assessment was performed; or the criteria for staging are not met, then T, N, and M are blank.
See the Staging Video on Blanks vs. X on the AJCC web site:

CHANGES IN REPORTABILITY
Carcinoids of the appendix are now reportable as 8240/3
Mature teratomas of the testes in adults are malignant and reportable (9080/3). Mature teratoma is not reportable for pre-pubescent males.

CHANGES IN REPORTABILITY
PancreasNon-invasive mucinous cystic neoplasm
(MCN) of the pancreas with high grade dysplasia is reportable. This term replaces mucinous cystadenocarcinoma, non-invasive (8470/2)
![Page 6: 2015 CHANGES IN REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND CANCER CODING INSTRUCTIONS KENTUCKY CANCER REGISTRY SPRING TRAINING 2015 PRESENTED BY FRANCES ROSS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ed35503460f94be2e84/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Directly Coded
Summary Stage

CHANGES IN CODING INSTRUCTIONS
Non-definitive Surgery and Surgery at the Primary Site If a needle biopsy precedes an excisional biopsy, even if
no tumor is found at the time of the surgery, both the needle biopsy and the surgery must be recorded.
Code the needle biopsy in the Non-definitive surgery field and code the excision in the Surgery at Primary Site
![Page 11: 2015 CHANGES IN REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND CANCER CODING INSTRUCTIONS KENTUCKY CANCER REGISTRY SPRING TRAINING 2015 PRESENTED BY FRANCES ROSS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ed35503460f94be2e84/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
CHANGES IN CODING INSTRUCTIONS
Radiation therapy – Regional Dose: cGyAdded instruction: For photon treatment,
dosage is reported in cGe units (Cobalt Grey Equivalent) rather than cGy. You must multiply cGe by 100 to get cGy.
![Page 12: 2015 CHANGES IN REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND CANCER CODING INSTRUCTIONS KENTUCKY CANCER REGISTRY SPRING TRAINING 2015 PRESENTED BY FRANCES ROSS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ed35503460f94be2e84/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
CHANGES IN CODING INSTRUCTIONS
Other therapyAdded instruction to code PUVA (psoralen and
long-wave ultraviolet radiation) as Code 1
![Page 13: 2015 CHANGES IN REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND CANCER CODING INSTRUCTIONS KENTUCKY CANCER REGISTRY SPRING TRAINING 2015 PRESENTED BY FRANCES ROSS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ed35503460f94be2e84/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
UPDATES TO THE HEMATOPOIETIC DATABASE AND MANUAL
![Page 14: 2015 CHANGES IN REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND CANCER CODING INSTRUCTIONS KENTUCKY CANCER REGISTRY SPRING TRAINING 2015 PRESENTED BY FRANCES ROSS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ed35503460f94be2e84/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The Hematopoietic Database and Manual have been updated for 2015; a conversion of data will occurObsolete histologies may not be used for 2010+
casesGrade will be assigned to converted records, where
a defined grade existsPrimary site will be assigned to current histologies
![Page 15: 2015 CHANGES IN REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND CANCER CODING INSTRUCTIONS KENTUCKY CANCER REGISTRY SPRING TRAINING 2015 PRESENTED BY FRANCES ROSS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ed35503460f94be2e84/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
OBSOLETE HISTOLOGIES
May not be used with diagnoses 2010 and later; an edit check for this will be added.
The most common of these are: 9664, 9665, 9667 Hodgkin lymphoma, nodular sclerosis
9663
9684 Malignant lymphoma, large B cell, immunoblastic 9680
9805 Acute biphenotypic leukemia 9809
![Page 16: 2015 CHANGES IN REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND CANCER CODING INSTRUCTIONS KENTUCKY CANCER REGISTRY SPRING TRAINING 2015 PRESENTED BY FRANCES ROSS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ed35503460f94be2e84/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
OBSOLETE HISTOLOGIES
A conversion will be performed on any applicable cases in your database with a diagnosis date of 2010 or later.
The conversion may result in a schema change for some cases. Detailed information on which cases need manual review will be provided.
![Page 17: 2015 CHANGES IN REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND CANCER CODING INSTRUCTIONS KENTUCKY CANCER REGISTRY SPRING TRAINING 2015 PRESENTED BY FRANCES ROSS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ed35503460f94be2e84/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
GRADE CONVERSION
After the obsolete histologies are converted to current histology codes, a grade will be assigned to that case – either an applicable grade code, or a 9 will be assigned if there is no defined grade.
![Page 18: 2015 CHANGES IN REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND CANCER CODING INSTRUCTIONS KENTUCKY CANCER REGISTRY SPRING TRAINING 2015 PRESENTED BY FRANCES ROSS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ed35503460f94be2e84/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
PRIMARY SITE CODES WILL BE CONVERTED FOR SELECT CASES
For cases 2010 and later, these primary site codes should no longer be used:Blood (C42.0), except for 9761/3 (Waldenstroms
Macroglobulinemia)
Reticuloendothelial system NOS (C42.3)Hematopoietic system, NOS (C42.4)
![Page 19: 2015 CHANGES IN REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND CANCER CODING INSTRUCTIONS KENTUCKY CANCER REGISTRY SPRING TRAINING 2015 PRESENTED BY FRANCES ROSS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ed35503460f94be2e84/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
PRIMARY SITE CODES WILL BE CONVERTED FOR SELECT CASES
Primary site will be reassigned for histologies for which only one primary site code is applicable, e.g., leukemias must be coded (C42.1)
![Page 20: 2015 CHANGES IN REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND CANCER CODING INSTRUCTIONS KENTUCKY CANCER REGISTRY SPRING TRAINING 2015 PRESENTED BY FRANCES ROSS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ed35503460f94be2e84/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
PRIMARY SITE CODES WILL BE CONVERTED FOR SELECT CASES
The Primary site will be reassigned to Bone Marrow (C42.1) for histologies which are: leukemias/lymphomas or histologies prominent in the bone marrow which
had been coded to C42.0, C42.3, or C42.4
![Page 21: 2015 CHANGES IN REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND CANCER CODING INSTRUCTIONS KENTUCKY CANCER REGISTRY SPRING TRAINING 2015 PRESENTED BY FRANCES ROSS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ed35503460f94be2e84/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
PRIMARY SITE CODES WILL BE CONVERTED FOR SELECT CASES
Manual review will be required for the remaining histologies which had been coded to C42.0, C42.3, or C42.4 (these are mostly lymphomas)
These may require manual review of CS variables if the newly assigned site results in a CS schema change
Fewer than 15 cases will have to be reviewed; a list will be placed on FES for each facility with case(s) to review
