Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Neoplasm Coding Manual 1 In Appreciation NCI SEER gratefully acknowledges the dedicated work of Drs, Charles Platz and Graca Dores since the inception of the Hematopoietic project. They continue to provide support. We deeply appreciate their willingness to serve as advisors for the rules within this manual. The quality of this Hematopoietic project is directly related to their commitment. NCI SEER would also like to acknowledge the following individuals who provided input on the manual and/or the database. Their contributions are greatly appreciated. • Carolyn Callaghan, CTR (SEER Seattle Registry) • Tiffany Janes, CTR (SEER Seattle Registry) We would also like to give a special thanks to the following individuals at Information Management Services, Inc. (IMS) who provide us with document support and web development. • Suzanne Adams, BS, CTR • Ginger Carter, BA • Sean Brennan, BS • Paul Stephenson, BS • Jacob Tomlinson, BS Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Neoplasm Coding Manual 2 Dedication The Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Neoplasm Coding Manual (Heme manual) and the companion Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Neoplasm Database (Heme DB) are dedicated to the hard-working cancer registrars across the world who meticulously identify, abstract, and code cancer data. Cancer registrars are the foundation for statewide, provincial, territorial, national, and international cancer surveillance programs which support cancer prevention and cancer control efforts worldwide. Education SEER*Educate provides training on how to use the Heme Manual and DB. Step-by-step instructions are provided for each case scenario to learn how to use the application and manual to arrive at the answer provided. Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Neoplasm Coding Manual 3 Use this manual and the corresponding database to abstract and code cases diagnosed January 1, 2010 and forward. Some information for cases diagnosed prior to 2010 is also provided to assist registrars in coding those cases and in making multiple primary decisions. These rules are for cancer registries and are not followed by physicians. Follow the rules stated in this manual and abstract the number of primaries based on the rules. This may, or may not, agree with what the physician indicates in the patient record. However, physician interpretation can sometimes factor into determining reportability, diagnostic confirmation, or primary site; this is addressed in the specific coding instructions for those sections. Hematopoietic Comparison Documents Starting January 1, 2014, only one database for diagnosis years 2010 and forward is available and is referred to as the “Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Neoplasm Database.” The consolidated manual and database include changes from 2010, 2012 and 2014. Earlier versions (2010 and 2012) are no longer available. Comparison documents have been developed to identify the differences between the 2010, 2012 and 2014 changes of the Hematopoietic manual and database. These documents are meant to be a guide for registrars on how their data may have changed over time. Included with the rules is a column that comments on possible changes to incidence. Most of the changes will not affect incidence. There is an explanation of how and what to review where incidence may be affected.

  • INDIVIDUAL SANITARY MEASURE Denmark Daniel Oestmann And
    DECISION MEMORANDUM— INDIVIDUAL SANITARY MEASURE Denmark Daniel Oestmann and Priya Kadam David Smith and Kevin Gillespie EQUIVALENCE REQUEST: Denmark requested an equivalence determination for an alternative post-mortem inspection i.e. visual inspection instead of palpation and incision of lung and liver and their associated lymph nodes of slaughtered market hogs. For purposes of determining equivalence, Danish market hogs are of the 220-240 pounds /six months of age range; the alternative post-mortem inspection procedure is not applicable to sows, boars, and roaster pigs. BACKGROUND: On December 16, 2008 in an FSIS-Denmark bilateral meeting a team of FSIS experts met and reviewed Denmark’s Supply Chain Inspection system, and presentations by Danish officials. The Supply Chain Inspection system allows inspection of market hogs raised under an integrated quality control program coupled with an on-site verification at slaughter establishments of visually inspected carcasses and organs to ensure that passed carcasses and parts are wholesome and not adulterated. As a part of this inspection system, on December 24, 2008, FSIS approved Denmark’s use of an alternative post- mortem inspection procedure omitting the incision of mandibular lymph nodes for market hogs used to detect granulomatous lymphadenitis which is mitigated through on-farm controls that are assessed and reported through government oversight when hogs come to slaughter. As a part of this Supply Chain Inspection system, in April 2010, Denmark proposed another alternate visual only post mortem inspection procedure, omitting the palpation of mesenteric lymph nodes of slaughtered market hogs used to detect granulomatous lymphadenitis is mitigated through on-farm controls that are assessed and reported through government oversight when hogs come to slaughter.

  • Medical Oncology and Breast Cancer
    The Breast Center Smilow Cancer Hospital 20 York Street, North Pavilion New Haven, CT 06510 Phone: (203) 200-2328 Fax: (203) 200-2075 MEDICAL ONCOLOGY Treatment for breast cancer is multidisciplinary. The primary physicians with whom you may meet as part of your care are the medical oncologist, the breast surgeon, and often the radiation oncologist. A list of these specialty physicians will be provided to you. Each provider works with a team of caregivers to ensure that every patient receives high quality, personalized, breast cancer care. The medical oncologist specializes in “systemic therapy”, or medications that treat the whole body. For women with early stage breast cancer, systemic therapy is often recommended to provide the best opportunity to prevent breast cancer from returning. SYSTEMIC THERAPY Depending on the specific characteristics of your cancer, your medical oncologist may prescribe systemic therapy. Systemic therapy can be hormone pills, IV chemotherapy, antibody therapy (also called “immunotherapy”), and oral chemotherapy; sometimes patients receive more than one type of systemic therapy. Systemic therapy can happen before surgery (called “neoadjuvant therapy”) or after surgery (“adjuvant therapy”). If appropriate, your breast surgeon and medical oncologist will discuss the benefits of neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy with you. As a National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Member Institution, we are dedicated to following the treatment guidelines that have been shown to be most effective. We also have a variety of clinical trials that will help us find better ways to treat breast cancer. Your medical oncologist will recommend what treatment types and regimens are best for you. The information used to make these decisions include: the location of the cancer, the size of the cancer, the type of cancer, whether the cancer is invasive, the grade of the cancer (a measure of its aggressiveness), prognostic factors such as hormone receptors and HER2 status, and lymph node involvement.

Learning some basics is a good place to start. ● What Is Ovarian Cancer? Research and Statistics See the latest estimates for new cases of ovarian cancer and deaths in the US and what research is currently being done. ● Key Statistics for Ovarian Cancer ● What's New in Ovarian Cancer Research? What Is Ovarian Cancer? Cancer starts when cells in the body begin to grow out of control. Cells in nearly any part of the body can become cancer and can spread. To learn more about how cancers start and spread, see What Is Cancer?1 Ovarian cancers were previously believed to begin only in the ovaries, but recent evidence suggests that many ovarian cancers may actually start in the cells in the far (distal) end of the fallopian tubes. 1 ____________________________________________________________________________________American Cancer Society cancer.org | 1.800.227.2345 What are the ovaries? Ovaries are reproductive glands found only in females (women). The ovaries produce eggs (ova) for reproduction. The eggs travel from the ovaries through the fallopian tubes into the uterus where the fertilized egg settles in and develops into a fetus. The ovaries are also the main source of the female hormones estrogen and progesterone. One ovary is on each side of the uterus. The ovaries are mainly made up of 3 kinds of cells. Each type of cell can develop into a different type of tumor: ● Epithelial tumors start from the cells that cover the outer surface of the ovary.

  • INTRINSIC FACTORS in the ETIOLOGY of NEOPLASMS' It Is
    INTRINSIC FACTORS IN THE ETIOLOGY OF NEOPLASMS' CARL V. WELLER, MS., M.D. (From the Department of Pathology, University of Michigan) It is as true as it is trite that the cause of disease is never a single factor. Two elements always enter into etiology. One of these is inherent in the germ plasm of the individual; the other brought to bear upon the organism from beyond the confines of the germinal elements from which it has devel- oped. Better than internal and external, endogenous and exogenous, or con- stitutional and environmental, to designate these two groups of factors, are the terms intrinsic and extrinsic. Practical experience directs us to seek the relative importance of intrinsic and extrinsic factors whenever the causation of disease is studied, and we find that the two ingredients may be combined in every possible proportion. At one end of the series are diseases such as deaf mutism, transmitted as a simple recessive, in which the intrinsic element almost crowds out all other considerations. In the recessively sex-linked hemophilia, again the intrinsic element is so prominent that we see at once the mendelian significance of the process, although the bleeder may not be made known until the extrinsic factor, trauma, opens his blood vessels. The asthenic, dolichomorphic bodily configuration, which marks the phthisical habitus, is a familial character and therefore intrinsic, but it conditions infection by the tubercle bacillus in such a way as to give it serious or even lethal possibilities. When we consider syphilis, we find that the Treponema is no respecter of genetic constitution, yet sex and race may modify the character of the disease.

Recommendation Screen every 2 years. an individual one. Grade: I statement Grade: B Grade: C (insufficient evidence) These recommendations apply to asymptomatic women aged ≥40 y who do not have preexisting breast cancer or a previously diagnosed high-risk breast lesion and who are not at high risk for breast cancer because of a known underlying genetic mutation Risk Assessment (such as a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation or other familial breast cancer syndrome) or a history of chest radiation at a young age. Increasing age is the most important risk factor for most women. Conventional digital mammography has essentially replaced film mammography as the primary method for breast cancer screening Screening Tests in the United States. Conventional digital screening mammography has about the same diagnostic accuracy as film overall, although digital screening seems to have comparatively higher sensitivity but the same or lower specificity in women age <50 y. For women who are at average risk for breast cancer, most of the benefit of mammography results from biennial screening during Starting and ages 50 to 74 y. While screening mammography in women aged 40 to 49 y may reduce the risk for breast cancer death, the Stopping Ages number of deaths averted is smaller than that in older women and the number of false-positive results and unnecessary biopsies is larger. The balance of benefits and harms is likely to improve as women move from their early to late 40s.
