MCR MINI-UPDATE MARCH 2016

Fellow Registrars, National Cancer Registrars Week is April 11-15, 2016. The theme for 2016 is Cancer Registrars: The Heart of Improving Cancer Care. How will you celebrate? MCR activities will be discussed in our next update.

EDUCATION NAACCR Webinars Live: March 3, 2016, 8-11 am, Abstracting and Coding Boot Camp: Case Scenarios (broadcast to MCR classroom in Columbia). To register for the live event in Columbia, use this online link: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0e49a4a82caafa7-naaccr2

Recordings: You may earn 3 CEs By Viewing Recorded Webinars. Check out our Education and Training page to find out how you can receive access to the recorded NAACCR Webinars.

GoToMeeting Upcoming: April 13, 2016, 10-11am, Question and Answer Session: How to Use the AJCC Staging Manual, 7th Edition with Nancy Rold. This event is for folks who are new to using the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual (aka TNM Manual) and would like an introduction to how it is organized. Our format this time is quite different: 1) during March you are encouraged to go to the MCR education page and view the 33 minute video training by Steve Peace which the Florida central registry graciously shared with us. Note: forward the player to the 2:15 min. mark to avoid initial conference chit-chat. Handouts of the slides are also available. 2) If you have questions after listening to the recording, send them to Nancy Rold, [email protected] 3) Register for the 4/13/16 live Q&A session to hear those questions answered on the topic of how to use this manual. To register for the live event online: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0e49a4a82caafa7-gotomeeting0413

Recordings: of previous GoToMeeting sessions are available on the MCR website. Check out the offerings at: http://mcr.umh.edu/mcr-gotomeeting.php

Last month: Jennifer’s presentation last month on How to Use the Hematopoietic Database and Manual drew a capacity crowd and was well received. Evaluation forms indicated that it was very helpful. If you missed it, the recording is posted: http://mcr.umh.edu/downloads/Hematopoietic_DB_0216.wmv. If you’ve had any problem cases or questions since the webinar, feel free to call our help line, 1-800-392- 2829.

1 MCR MINI-UPDATE MARCH 2016

Fundamentals of Abstracting Workshop The Fundamentals of Abstracting Workshop is a day and a half course held in Columbia, MO at the offices of the Missouri Cancer Registry and Research Center. The next class will be held April 25-26, 2016. This free class is geared toward inexperienced abstractors who would like to become more proficient with the abstracting process. Students use Abstract Plus software to work through cases using the MCR-ARC Abstract Code Manual. For those not familiar with abstracting and the MCR-ARC required fields, this hands-on training is a great place to start. Register at: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0e49a4a82caafa7-fundamentals

MCR NEWS MCR Hosts NAACCR 2016 – Registration is Open MCR and NAACCR invite you to join us in St. Louis, Missouri, June 14-16, for the 2016 Annual Conference “Gateway to Cancer Discoveries.” This is a great opportunity for Missouri registrars to attend an international meeting in our own backyard!

Check out the program. It is very different than NCRA – less emphasis on how to code and more on how the data is being used. I find it very inspiring to hear the presentations by epidemiologists and the visions standard setters have for future reporting. Hospital registrars can register at the NAACCR member rate and one-day only registrations are possible. And of course there are always fun after-hours activities in St. Louis including a Wednesday evening Cardinals-Astros game. If you have students at your facility or affiliated university, they may be interested in entering an abstract/poster by March 28 or attending the preconference workshop Introduction to Cancer Surveillance. Contact Jeannette ([email protected]) if you have questions about student activities. Get all the program details at: http://www.naaccr.org/EducationandTraining/AnnualConference.aspx

Survivorship Plan Survey NPCR is developing a survivorship plan module in Web Plus. The objective is to allow a central registry to load information from consolidated patient cases onto Web Plus in a format accessible only to the reporting facility. Pertinent information could then be added to the form by facility personnel (such as a nurse navigator) and an attractive survivorship plan printed out for the patient. MCR is considering the viability of participating in a pilot program to test this new module. So far, a generic plan as well as breast and colorectal plans are available. If no legal barriers are identified, we may be looking for a facility to test this software with us in the coming year. Please complete and return the attached survey to indicate your level of interest in this product.

ABSTRACTING TIPS Staging Text Remember that a SEER Summary Staging code is required for ALL sites, and the basis for assigning the SEER SS 2000 code must be documented in your abstract text. The NAACCR “Staging” text field is the designated place to enter SEER staging information as well as AJCC TNM staging details.

From the CDC - National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program 25th Anniversary February is cancer prevention month. We know that many deaths from breast and cervical cancers could be avoided if screening increased among women at risk. Deaths from these diseases occur disproportionately among women who are uninsured or underinsured and we know that mammography and Pap tests are not used as often by women who have no regular doctor or source of health care.

3 MCR MINI-UPDATE MARCH 2016

2015 marked the twenty-fifth anniversary of CDC’s National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP). NBCCEDP was established in 1990 to provide women who are low-income, uninsured, and underserved access to timely breast and cervical cancer screening and diagnostic services. During the first year of the current five-year funding cycle for the NBCCEDP grant, CDC conducted a study to look at the network of providers that serve the NBCCEDP. The findings that were published in Quality in Primary Care (http://primarycare.imedpub.com/a-profile-of-the-national-breast- and-cervical-cancer-early-detection-program-nbccedpprovider-network-results-from-the-year-1- nbccedp-survey-of-program-implementation.pdf) are being used to better understand where and to whom services are delivered, and how program implementation can be improved to address any gaps.
