historical changes

This edit differs from the NAACCR edit of the same name in that it allows the field to be blank because the item is no longer required by the COC for cases diagnosed 2008 and later. Another edit (TNM Path Staged By, Date of Diagnosis) verifies that this item is not blank if the year of Date of Diagnosis is less than 2008. COC-approved programs should include both edits in their edit set.

2010

Data Item Changes: CCR name (TNM_Coder_Path) changed to NAACCR name. Split the two fields, TNM Clin Staged By and TNM Path Staged By, which used to be on the same page onto separate pages.
