Description
This data item represents the number of positive cores documented in the pathology report from needle biopsy of the prostate gland.
Rationale
Number of Cores Positive is a Registry Data Collection Variable for AJCC. This data item was previously collected as Prostate, CS SSF# 12.
Codes

    
        
            00
            All examined cores negative
            
        
        
            01-99
            1 - 99 cores positive

                (Exact number of cores positive)
            
        
        
            X1
            100 or more cores positive
        
        
            X6
            Biopsy cores positive, number unknown
        
        
            X7
            No needle core biopsy performed
        
        
            X8
