Description
This data item represents the number of cores examined as documented in the pathology report from needle biopsy of the prostate gland.
Rationale
Number of Cores Examined is a Registry Data Collection Variable for AJCC. This data item was previously collected as Prostate, CS SSF# 13.
Codes: 

    
        
            01-99
            1 - 99 cores examined

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

                (If this information is required by your standard setter, use of code X8 may result in an edit error.)
            
        
        
            X9
            Not documented in medical record

                Number of cores examined not assessed or unknown if assessed
