DESCRIPTION

The survival date of diagnosis recode is calculated using the month, day, and year of the Date of Diagnosis [NAACCR #390]. If the Date of Diagnosis has complete month and day information, the Surv-Date DX Recode will be the same as the Date of Diagnosis. If the day or month is unknown or not available, the values are imputed into the survival program used to derive the seven survival variables.
