Hi Cancer Surveillance Community,
The Cancer PathCHART Team at the NCI Surveillance Research Program has received questions about when the 2024 Cancer PathCHART ICD-O-3 Site Morphology Validation List (CPC SMVL) standards (located at https://seer.cancer.gov/cancerpathchart/products.html) should be applied. This message is a reminder that the 2024 CPC SMVL standards should only be applied to cancer cases diagnosed January 1, 2024 and forward.
Before January 1, 2024, the 2023 resources should be used to determine how a site-morphology combination should be recorded. These 2023 standards can be found at https://seer.cancer.gov/registrars/guidelines.html and https://seer.cancer.gov/icd-o-3/.
If you have further questions about the project, please contact the Cancer PathCHART Team at NCICancerPathCHART@mail.nih.gov.
