  Note: CoC discontinued collection of this item in 2003 when FORDS was  implemented. For CoC, codes 7 and 8 were used for tumors diagnosed  before 1996, but should have been converted to 0 in this field and to  the appropriate code in the new field Reason for No Radiation [1430].  SEER continues to use codes 7 and 8 for all years. See Chapter V,  Unresolved Issues, for further discussion.  

In the SEER program, a code 2 for other radiation was used between 1973  and 1987. When the radiation codes were expanded to add codes '2'  radioactive implants and '3' radioisotopes, all cases with a code '2'  and diagnosed in 1973-1987 were converted to a code '6' radiation other  than beam radiation.


  *Note: Radiation to brain and central nervous system for leukemia and lung cases is coded as radiation in this field.
