Historical

1/99 This field was lengthened from 6 to 9 digits. The values were converted to include the century as the first two digits (19), then the existing two-digit year from the beginning of the original number, then a 0, and finally the last four digits of the original number.
2010 Data Changes: CCR name (Accession_No) changed to NAACCR name. Distinction made between the NAACCR edit which does not allow 9's and the Eureka edit which allows 9s.
