HISTORICAL CHANGES

10/07	New data items added to help identify path reports used in abstracting, to facilitate automatic new case abstract/pathology report matching at the regional/central registry, and to expand the space available in the path text field. Starting in 2008, visual editors will be reviewing path reports along side the submitted cases, so it is important to identify all the reports used by the abstractor. Did not add allowable values errors. Convert Path_Report_No_B and Path_Report_No_S: Default/initialize all Path Report fields to blank. If Pathology Report Number Biopsy/FNA was entered, then Convert Pathology Report Number Biopsy/FNA into Path Report Number 1 If Type of Reporting Source is 6 (autopsy), then convert Path Report Type 1 to 01 (autopsy) Else(Otherwise), convert Path Report Type 1 to 01 (biopsy). If Pathology Report Number Biopsy/FNA was blank and Pathology Report Number – Surgery was entered, then Convert Pathology Report Number – Surgery into Path Report Number 1 If Type of Reporting Source is 6 (autopsy), then convert Path Report Type 1 to 04 (autopsy), Else(Otherwise), convert Path Report Type 1 to 02 (surgical resection). If Pathology Report Number Biopsy/FNA was entered and Pathology Report Number – Surgery was entered, then Convert Pathology Report Number – Surgery into Path Report Number 2 If Type of Reporting Source is 6 (autopsy), then convert Path Report Type 2 to 04 (autopsy), Else(Otherwise), convert Path Report Type 2 to 02 (surgical resection). Strip/Remove all special characters (non-alphabetic and non-numeric characters such as hyphens, periods, or slashes) AND spaces from Path Report Number 1 and Path Report Number 2.
2010	Data Changes: 010 Data Item Changes: CCR names changed from DxRx Report Number 1-5 to Path Report Number 1-5 to accommodate NAACCRR adoption of CCR RxDx fields. Consolidated Data Extract changed to Yes.

11/7/11	Changed Specification: All characters are allowed. Embedded spaces are allowed. Must be left-justified blank filled. May be blank.
