39806-5
ClinicalSummary stage at Dx 2000 revised Cancer
Definition
Code for summary stage at the initial diagnosis or treatment of the reportable tumor. For hospital registries, COC requires its use in the absence of a defined AJCC classification. For site-specific definitions of categories, see SEER Summary Staging Manual 2000. Summary stage should include all information available through completion of surgery(ies) in the first course of treatment or within 4 months of diagnosis in the absence of disease progression, whichever is longer. Stage information is important when evaluating the effects of cancer control programs. It is crucial in understanding whether changes over time in incidence rates or outcomes are due to earlier detection of the cancers. In addition, cancer treatment cannot be studied without knowing the stage at diagnosis... NAACCR Data Standards and Data Dictionary Version 11
