Description
This item is needed to store the results of NPCR’s derived algorithmic calculation of clinical stage group based on AJCC T, N, and M and relevant biomarkers and prognostic factors. At this time the algorithm derives AJCC 7th ed. Stage group only; however, updates to future AJCC editions are anticipated.
Rationale
The purpose of the derived stage fields is to segregate the data values for AJCC clinical and pathological stage groups derived from the NPCR algorithm from the values directly entered from the medical record or by the registrar. NPCR’s primary interest is in the directly-entered values, but derived values will have a purpose primarily at the central registry. It is important to not mix data values from the two sources in the same data items.
