  1. SC CENTRAL CANCER REGISTRY BLAST OCTOBER 2012

  2. SCCCR BLAST The SCCCR BLAST is an educational training tool provided as a service to you from the SCCCR. This email communication offers specific updates, clarifications, and Q & A’s concerning coding rules and abstracting principles. All registry reference manuals will be utilized and cited. The BLAST is sent to all SC registrars at the beginning of each month. Topics originate primarily from questions generated from SCCCR quality control activities or from hospital registrars. Or they may stem from changes in standards that need to be communicated in mass. No names will be included, only the question and answer with reference sources. Please contact Kathy Barnes, SCCCR Training Coordinator, with your questions, requests for clarification, or information you have discovered that needs to be communicated to your colleagues.

  7. SCCCR BLAST 2012-2013 Webinar Schedule for Your Planning

  8. SCCCR BLAST ADVANCED REGISTRY TRAINING WORKSHOP Thanks again to everyone that attended the Advanced Registry Training Workshop 8/27–8/28. We are awaiting one final exercise answer and approval for CE credits. You will be notified as soon as they arrive!

  9. SCCCR BLAST The following info was given by a fellow registrar: SSDI has stopped social security number lookup . . . Try the following website instead for possible follow-up: http://www.genealogybank.com/gbnk/ssdi/?kbid=9064&m=9 SSDI INFO NO LONGER FOUND?

  10. SCCCR BLAST BE POSITIVE: Google the address of your patient, include city and South Carolina. The following information will be shown by address for correctly coding remaining demographics: • COUNTY • ZIP CODE Having Trouble Finding County or Zip?

  11. SCCCR BLAST Here’s another option: Google name of the county along w/”property tax” (for example, Greenville county property tax) and you should find a link to that county’s property tax website. Here are a few examples. Lexington Co. http://www.lex-co.com/PCSearch/tb001-pg.asp Richland Co. https://www4.rcgov.us/TreasurerTaxInfo/Main.aspx Charleston Co. http://sc-charleston-county.governmax.com/svc Florence Co. http://web.florenceco.org/cgi-bin/ta/tax-inq.cgi Having Trouble Finding County or Zip?

  12. SCCCR BLAST Are Your Breast Surgeries Coded Correctly? 40 vs 41 / 50 vs 51; If patient had anytype of mastectomy: 40total (simple mastectomy) 50modified radical mastectomy Codes should correctly be 41 & 51 41 & 51 = WITHOUT removal of uninvolved contralateral breast *unless unusual circumstances apply which would probably be very rare. A simple qc report will probably find some are coded incorrectly! IF the patient had first course planned reconstruction . . . codes could be 43-75 or 53-63 and would be ok.

  13. SCCCR BLAST There’s NO code for head & neck, nos C14.9: Example: • History head & neck cancer • Presents with head & neck cancer • Each with no further info on specific primary Why? How are these cases coded correctly? HEAD & NECK PRIMARY SITE?

  14. SCCCR BLAST Final CAnswer: The CoC, NPCR, SEER Technical Workgroup have agreed that C14.8 should be assigned for head and neck primaries for which a specific site could not be identified. See number 15 under the heading Description of this Neoplasm at: http://seer.cancer.gov/registrars/data-collection.html HEAD & NECK PRIMARY SITE?
