Field Length: 1 (x 4)
Specific diagnostic and staging procedures were defined for breast and prostate cancers only for diagnoses dates between 1/1/1998 and 12/31/2002. They are now optional fields and are no longer required to be coded.
If the primary site is other than breast or prostate, code all data items 0 or leave blank. If more than one code applies, use the highest code (excluding 9).
