Description

This flag explains why no appropriate value is in the field, Date of Multiple Tumors [445]. This data item was first available in Volume IIVersion 12 (effective January 2010).



Rationale

Before Version 12 (through 2009 diagnosis), date fields included codes that provided information other than dates. As part of an initiative to standardize date fields, new fields were introduced to accommodate non-date information that had previously been transmitted in date fields.



Codes (See Appendix H for the complete Flavors of Null table, which includes the NAACCR codes, HL7 codes and definitions.)


    
        11
        No proper value is applicable in this context (e.g., information on multiple tumors not collected/not applicable for this site).
    
    
        12
        A proper value is applicable but not known. This event occurred, but the date is unknown (e.g., patient was diagnosed with multiple tumors and the date is unknown).
    
    
        15
        Information is not available at this time, but it is expected that it will be available later (e.g., single tumor).
    
    
        Blank
        A valid date value is provided in item Date Multiple Tumors [445], or the date was not expected to have been transmitted.
    
    
        
Comment: This is part of the initiative of the transformation from the old NAACCR date standards to interoperable dates.
