DESCRIPTION

Code for the country in which the patient was born. If the patient has multiple tumors, all records should contain the same code. This data item became part of the NAACCR transmission record effective with Volume II, Version 13 in order to include country and state for each geographic item and to use interoperable codes. It supplements the item Birthplace--State [NAACCR #252]. These two data items are intended to replace the use of Birthplace [NAACCR #250].
