MESSAGE

  1. IF1218: Behavior must = 2 for this combination of clin and path TNM

specification

This edit is skipped if any of the following conditions are true:

  1. Year of Date of Diagnosis is less than 2016, blank (unknown), or invalid

  2. Type of Reporting Source = 7 (Death Certificate Only)

  3. Behavior Code ICD-O-3 = 0 (benign) or 1 (borderline)

  4. TNM Edition Number not = 07, U7

 

Note: The number next to each TNM group indicates the chapter in the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual, Edition 7. The subheadings (A, B, etc) refer to site/histology groups listed in the edit Primary Site, Stage Group 2016 - Ed 7.

 

  1. For the following TNM Group/TNM Clin T or TNM Path T code combinations, Behavior Code ICD-O-3 may = 2 or 3. These TNM Group/TNM Clin T or TNM Path T code combinations are passed (excluded from further editing). If TNM Path T is blank, the edit checks the values in TNM Clin T.  If TNM Path T is not blank, the edit checks the values in TNM Path T.

    1. TNM Group Breast (32): TNM Clin T = pIS and Histologic Type ICD-O-3 = 8540, 8541, and 8543 (codes indicating Paget disease). TNM Path T = pIS and Histologic Type ICD-O-3 = 8540,8541, and 8543 (codes indicating Paget disease).

    2. TNM Group Penis (40):  TNM Clin T = pA (verrucous carcinoma) TNM Path T = pA (verrucous carcinoma).

    3. TNM Group Urinary Bladder (45): TNM Clin T = pIS (tumors described as "confined to mucosa") TNM Path T = pIS (tumors described as “confined to mucosa”).

 

  1. For all other TNM Groups except Colon and Rectum (14), Carcinoma of Appendix (13A), NET Stomach (17A), Melanoma of Conjunctiva (50)

 

    1. If TNM Path T is blank, if TNM Clin T = pA, pIS, pISU, pISD, then Behavior Code ICD-O-3 must = 2.

    2. If TNM Path T = pA, pIS, pISU, pISD and TNM Path Descriptor is not = 4 or 6 (Codes indicating pathologic staging after multimodality treatment), then Behavior Code ICD-O-3 must = 2.

 

Note: The four exceptions listed in B are site/histology groups where AJCC maps an extension considered “invasive” by ICD-O-3 to a “Tis” category.
