This 3-hour class will address coding dilemmas identified through quality control of registry data and present solutions with rationale for determining the number of primary tumors using the Solid Tumor Rules; assigning ICD-O-3 topography and histology codes using the ICD-O-3 Manual and Solid Tumor Rules; completing the stage of disease data items using AJCC Cancer Staging Manual, 8th Edition and Summary Stage 2020; and completing treatment data items as required by all standard setters.

Correct and consistent cancer counts and quality data are critical to the mission of the cancer registry. To achieve these goals registrars must apply the solid tumor rules uniformly. During this webinar we will review the structure and format of the Solid Tumor Manual

This 3-hour class will cover CoC standards compliance as registries prepare for the future. The focus will include ways to track data in your program to meet several of the new CoC standards. A special emphasis will be placed on Standard 6.4: RCRS & Concurrent Abstracting.

This 3-hour class will present the following information for central nervous system, anatomical information needed to abstract and code the cases; how to determine the number of primary tumors; how to code topography and histology; how to code the stage data items; and the treatments and how to code them.

This 3-hour class will present the following information for colon: anatomical information needed to abstract and code the cases; how to determine the number of primary tumors; how to code topography and histology; how to code the stage data items; and the treatments and how to code them.

This 3-hour class will present the following information for hematopoietic and lymphocytic neoplasms: anatomical information needed to abstract and code the cases; how to determine the number of primary tumors; how to code topography and histology; how to code the stage data items; and coding treatment data items.

This 3-hour class will involve completing multiple quizzes that focus on core concepts of casefinding and abstracting. There will be minimal lecture.

This 3-hour class will present information on the relationships between data items. We will focus on when data items should agree as well as instances where data items may not seem to agree. We will primarily look at relationships between stage data items, SSDIs, and treatment fields.

This 3-hour class will present the following information for lung: anatomical information needed to abstract and code the cases; how to determine the number of primary tumors; how to code topography and histology; how to code the stage data items; and the treatments and how to code them.

This 3-hour class will focus on coding treatment. A special emphasis will be placed on coding radiation. We will also address coding surgery and systemic treatment.
