Case Other Sequence Num

Field Length:  2

This field is for recording a history of cancer that was not diagnosed or treated at your hospital. It may also be used to record a subsequent primary which occurs in one of your cancer patients but is not diagnosed or treated by your hospital.

The sequence number represents the order of all reportable primary tumors diagnosed during a patient's lifetime. It counts the occurrence of independent, primary diagnoses, regardless of who must report them, but only if diagnosed in years for which that condition was considered reportable. Thus, it does not include skin malignancies and carcinoma in-situ of the cervix, diagnosed in years when they were not reportable, BUT it does include benign and borderline intracranial tumors diagnosed before 2004.

Enter the number which designates the chronological order of this primary tumor which is not reportable by your hospital.

            1 - 1st primary

            2 - 2nd primary

            3 - 3rd primary

            ...  etc.

Single digits will automatically be right justified in the computer.

This field may be repeated as often as necessary for any given patient.
