Description
Part of the 10-digit EOD [779]. Detailed site-specific codes for anatomic EOD used by SEER for tumors diagnosed from January 1, 1988, through December 31, 2003.
Codes were revised effective January 1, 1998, to reflect changes in the
AJCC Cancer Staging Manual, Fifth Edition.
Rationale
Site-specific EOD codes provide extensive detail describing disease extent. The EOD codes can be grouped into different stage categories for analysis (e.g., historical summary stage categories consistent with those used in published SEER data since 1973, or more recently, AJCC stage groupings). The codes are updated as needed, but updates are usually backward compatible with old categories. See
Comparative Staging Guide for Cancer.
Codes (See
SEER Extent of Disease, 1988: Codes and Coding Instructions, Third Edition8 for site-specific codes and coding rules for all EOD fields.)
