This field is automatically filled in with the state entered in Item 10090 (Current Address - State) 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.

If the address at diagnosis is not the same as the current address, then enter the correct address at diagnosis here. The address at diagnosis is a part of the patient's case data and has multiple uses. This field is critical for cancer incidence reporting. It will allow the state registry to exchange cases with contiguous states. It will also allow analysis of cancer clusters or environmental studies. This data may be corrected, but never update the address at diagnosis if the patient moves.

See APPENDIX B  to code this field.
