City at Diag

Field Length:  20

This field is automatically filled in with the data entered in Item 10080 (Current Address - City) when the case is initially entered into CPDMS.net  Note that if the patient has multiple tumors, the address may be different for subsequent primaries. A list of Kentucky cities and towns is located in Appendix D.

The address is a part of the patient's case data and has multiple uses. It will provide a referral pattern report and allow analysis of cancer clusters or environmental studies. These data may be corrected, but never update the address at diagnosis if the patient moves. Changing this field would destroy its usefulness.
