V16e Metafile

[Jim Hofferkamp]

It looks like we are going to release a v16e metafile in a couple of weeks. The last three issues posted on the forum are the things that will be addressed in the updated metafile. The issue with the cN value not being allowed in the pN for certain sites (GIST, Sarcoma, Melanoma T1a, Endometrium) is the main reason for the updated release. I believe an updated TNM.dll will be released at the same time.

We are making a few last minute tweeks to the v16e metafile. I’m hoping to have those complete today or tomorrow. We are also trying to coordinate the release of v16e metafile with an update of the TNM.dll that will be released by NPCR. I was hoping we could get them posted this week, but it may be Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.

The v16E metafile is posted to the NAACCR Website. I will be sending out listserv announcement later today.

I know i said this last time, but I really think this will be the last update prior to the release of v18.

NPCR will be releasing an update to the TNM.dll to go along with the updated metafile. The TNM.dll update should be posted later this week. You can find a link to the TNM.dll on the edit webpage.

NPCR has posted the TNM.dll at https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/npcr/tools/tnmstaging/

Below is a summary of the changes.

CDC has created software in the form of a dynamic link library (DLL) and application programming interface (API) to help cancer registries collect data on stage of disease for cancers according to the TNM system of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC). A revised API was released on June 2, 2017. The changes from the February 2017 release are—
• Additional clinical N values added to TNM Path N [NAACCR item 890] for the following schemas—
o All GISTschemas
o Corpus Uteri Carcinomas
o Bone
o Melanoma of Skin
o Soft Tissue Sarcoma
• Prostate—Derivation algorithm for NPCR Derived Path Stg Grp [NAACCR item number 3655] was revised to use the higher of the Gleason scores coded in SSF8 and SSF10.
• Derivation algorithm for NPCR Derived Clin Stg Grp [NAACCR Item Number 3650] modified to derive stage in situ for Tis N0 M0 regardless of grade code for the following schemas—
o Esophagus Squamous Cell Carcinoma
o Esophagus Adenocarcinoma
o Esophagogastric Junction Squamous Cell Carcinoma
o Esophagogastric Junction Adenocarcinoma
