Description
USPS abbreviation for the state, territory, commonwealth, U.S. possession, or CanadaPost abbreviation for the Canadian province/territory of the patient’s current usual residence. If the patient has multiple tumors, the current state of residence should be the same for all tumors. Effective with NAACCR Volume II, Version 13 a new data item, Addr Current--Country [1832] was added to the standard transmission record layout. The UDS Committee expects the new items to supplement the use of Addr Current--State [80].
Rationale
"Current address" can be used to measure the regional "cancer burden" (cost, medical care needs), especially in major retirement regions. Sometimes central registries carry out follow-up by contacting the patients via letter or telephone calls to ascertain vital status. The most current reported address and telephone number are needed. This information also is useful for conducting interview studies.
