Primary Site, TNM Clin Stage Valid B-Ed 7 (COC)

[Deborah Towell]

Is this a problem with the NAACCR edits? Or a problem with the coding values chosen? Below is the actual edit:

Primary Site, TNM Clin Stage Valid B-Ed 7 (COC)
E: Tc4 NcX Mc0, staging parameter for C449, inconsistent with TNM stage 4A1
TNM Clin T (958) = c4
TNM Clin N (962) = cX
TNM Clin M (966) = c0
TNM Clin Stage Group (970) = 4A1
Primary Site (540) = C449
Histologic Type ICD-O-3 (550) = 9701
Behavior Code ICD-O-3 (554) = 3
Date of Diagnosis (530) = Y:2016 M:07 D:21
TNM Edition Number (938) = 07
Age at Diagnosis (193) = 055
Grade (555) = 5
CS Site-Specific Factor 1 (1003) = 070
CS Site-Specific Factor 8 (1024) = 988
CS Site-Specific Factor10 (1030) = 988
CS Site-Specific Factor13 (1039) = 988
CS Site-Specific Factor15 (1045) = 988
CS Site-Specific Factor16 (1048) = 988
CS Site-Specific Factor25 (1075) = 988
Sex (192) = 2
Type of Reporting Source (563) = 1

In the scenario above, the edit is working correctly. This is sezary’s disease primary (see chapter 57B Primary cutaneous lymphoma pg 613 in AJCC manual).

cT4 cNX cM0 should not equal stage group 4A1. When we discussed this off-line you mentioned that the registrar had also tried to enter clinical stage group of 99 and the edit failed.

The edit should have allowed stage group 99 in that scenario. We will update the edit to allow cT4 cNX cM0 stage group 99.

The update will be included in the v16d metafile scheduled for release in late January/early February.
