Okay, thanks for the quick responses! We will analyze our data in Item 419 and 
figure out if the data is parseable. Not surprisingly we have populated those 
two code groups differently. Sigh.

The good news is that I have all the Iowa variables mapped to our custom table 
and Alex will help me work on the date conversions next, but that sparks a new 
question. If a date field only contains a year, say 1996, would you prefer that 
we null it out or default it to a generic value like 1/1/YYYY or 7/1/YYYY?

Still hoping for a 9/1 delivery, but we may be at risk.

Best,
Kris

Hi Kris,



That’s interesting… NAACCR has always had these three redundant fields for 
ICD-O-2, and you might have the same issue for the ICD-O-3 fields as well 
(numbers 521-523). It appears that 419 and 521 remain part of the NAACCR 
dictionary, but we did not include them in the tumor table. (I honestly can’t 
recall if that was a conscious decision.) I wonder if your institution’s tumor 
registry decided to populate 419 only and leave 420 and 430 blank since they’re 
redundant.



Could you split your morphology variable into separate histology and behavior 
values and use those to populate 420 and 430? The first four characters 
correspond to histology and the last character corresponds to behavior 
(separated by a “/”).



Thanks!



Brad

Hi Brad,

I have found what may be a versioning mismatch in our NAACCR table vs. your 
Version 18 model for DROC 82. We have mappings for NAACCR Item 419 
[Morph--Type&Behav ICD-O-2 ] but the new version appears to have broken Item 
419 into 2 separate variables for Histology Type (420) and Behavior (430). Do 
you have a preference on which new variable I should map our Item 419 data to?



Best,

Kris
