Collection and usage attributes | |
Guide for use: | Record whether multiple tumour foci reported as a single primary are present in a person with cancer as outlined by a code. When a primary tumour has a single foci of cancer cells record "unifocal". When a primary tumour has two or more foci of cancer cells record "multifocal". For a tumour to be recorded as a multifocal tumour of a single primary cancer the tumour foci are required to have the same histology. Details regarding this coding for varying tumour sites is available in the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology, 3rd Edition (ICD-O-3). This should be recorded from pathology reports after surgery. |
