Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 1, October 31, 2024

Section 420-7-3-.03 - Data To Be Reported

(1) All confirmed cancers with a behavior code of "2" (in situ) or "3" (malignant) or benign brain-related tumors with a behavior code of "0" (benign) or "1" (uncertain behavior) in the current International Classification of Diseases for Oncology (ICD-O) edition, and subsequent editions, must be reported. However, the following skin cancers and carcinoma in situ of the cervix uteri, as coded in ICD-O, are excluded from reporting:

(a) 8000-8004 Neoplasms, malignant, NOS (not otherwise specified) of the skin (C44.0-C44.9)

(b) 8010-8045 Epithelial carcinomas of the skin (C44.0-C44.9)

(c) 8050-8082 Papillary and squamous cell carcinomas of the skin (C44.0-C44.9)

(d) 8090-8110 Basal cell carcinomas of any site except genital sites

NOTE: Skin cancers in the genital sites (vagina, clitoris, labium, vulva, prepuce, penis, and scrotum) ARE REPORTABLE since they are more likely to metastasize than the usual carcinomas of the skin. (These cancers are reportable both nationally and internationally.)

(e) 8010/2 Carcinoma in situ, NOS and intraepithelial carcinoma, NOS of the cervix uteri (C53.0-C53.9)

(f) 8070/2 Squamous cell carcinoma in situ, NOS, epidermoid carcinoma in situ, NOS, intraepidermal carcinoma, NOS, and intraepithelial squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix uteri (C53.0-C53.9)

(2) A report shall also be given for each subsequent primary cancer or benign brain-related tumor diagnosed in an individual. If it cannot be decided whether a case should be reported, the ASCR should be contacted for guidance.

(3) All reports of confirmed cases of cancer or benign brain-related tumor shall include but not be limited to the data items, including treatment and patient follow-up information, listed in the ASCR Data Acquisition Manual.
