  1. SC CENTRAL CANCER REGISTRY BLAST FEBRUARY 2013

  2. SCCCR BLAST The SCCCR BLAST is an educational training tool provided as a service to you from the SCCCR. This email communication offers specific updates, clarifications, and Q & A’s concerning coding rules and abstracting principles. All registry reference manuals will be utilized and cited. The BLAST is sent to all SC registrars at the beginning of each month. Topics originate primarily from questions generated from SCCCR quality control activities or from hospital registrars. Or they may stem from changes in standards that need to be communicated in mass. No names will be included, only the question and answer with reference sources. Please contact Kathy Barnes, SCCCR Training Coordinator, with your questions, requests for clarification, or information you have discovered that needs to be communicated to your colleagues.

  7. Next Webinar NEXT WEBINAR ~ will not be shown at SCCCR office – link will be provided ASAP afterwards Title:Abstracting & Coding Boot Camp with Cancer Case Scenarios Description:This3 hour class will present case scenarios on multiple sites and histologies. We will abstract and code each scenario; determine the number of primary tumors; code cancer identification, CSv2, and treatment data items.

  9. SCCCR BLAST 2012-2013 Webinar Schedule for Your Planning (as stated: No Live Viewing of the Webinars in Columbia until further notice)

  10. SCCCR BLAST 2013 ICD-9-CM CASEFINDING LIST The 2013 Casefinding List for hospitals and central registries was sent to all SC cancer registrars last month. It may be viewed and/or downloaded at: http://www.seer.cancer.gov/tools/casefinding/ Look at the next page. There are a few exclusions / inclusions which must be followed for SCCCR data reporting requirements.

  11. SCCCR BLAST 2013 ICD-9-CM CASEFINDING LIST Per SCCCR: VINIII, VAINIII, AINIII Should still be collected! SEER list includes carcinoma in situ. Please exclude CIS of the cervix unless your facility has decided to collect. SCCCR does not. Theprimary skin codes that should be excluded from data collection were not listed. Per ACoS/SCCCR anyhistology with codes 8000-8110 should be excluded, except any genital primary site. *All other primary site skin codes (other than 8000-8110) should be collected. Please provide these codes to your IT dept. for 2013 casefinding!

  12. SCCCR BLAST Are Your Breast Surgeries Coded Correctly? Modified radical mastectomy should be: 41: (total simple mastectomy) WITHOUT removal of uninvolved contralateral breast 51: Modified radical mastectomy WITHOUT removal of uninvolved contralateral breast A simple qc report will probably find some are coded incorrectly! Rarely would a patient have a mastectomy with removal of the uninvolved contralateral breast! IF the patient had first course planned reconstruction. . . codes could be 43-75 or 53-63 and would be ok.

  13. SCCCR BLAST CODING FOLFOX CHEMOTHERAPY? BE CAREFUL . . . Folfox is incorrectly being coded as Chemotherapy = 02 (single agent) Folfox is made up of multiple chemo agents per the SEER Rx application. Chemotherapy data item should be 03 (multiple agents)

  14. SCCCR BLAST Errata for ICD-O-3 Site/Type Validation List 12/5/12: The histology code 9823/3 Chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma has been added to ALL primary site groupings. The following site/histology combinations have been added.

  15. SCCCR BLAST SEER TRAINING SITE UPDATE www.seer.training.gov Basic training and practice modules with hands-on-exercises have been removed for updating. They were based on older versions of our coding manuals. Please be patient during this process . . . it will be worth the wait! We’ll let you know as soon as it’s available.

  16. SCCCR BLAST 2013 SCCCR REQUIRES GRADE In accordance with the direction from CDC/NPCR for 2013, SCCCR will continue to requirethe data field “GRADE / DIFFERENTIATION” be collected. Also Included: “GRADE PATH VALUE” & “GRADE PATH SYSTEM” *Clarification for specific conversion methods pending as of 2/15/13!

  17. SCCCR BLAST 2013 SCCCR REQUIRES I&O TEXT Industry and Occupation Reporting facilities should abstract text documentation for usual occupation and industry. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is developing a tool that will read and code text fields for occupation and industry and will also crosswalk between the various years of codes for occupation and industry. *Reporting facilities must view the Industry & Occupation Instruction Webinar. The link is: http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/coding/courses/cancer/

  18. SCCCR BLAST 2013 SCCCR REQUIRES I&O TEXT Industry & Occupation: http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2011-173/pdfs/2011-173.pdf *You may save this link in pdf form for review CDC & NPCR requires if a person is under the age of 14 we should code: CHILD (1-14) or INFANT (one year or less) Code this in both occupation AND industry fields
