0.1 Canadian Cancer Registry Overview

The patient–oriented Canadian Cancer Registry (CCR) evolved from the event–oriented National Cancer Incidence Reporting System (NCIRS). Beginning with cases diagnosed in 1992, incidence figures collected by Provincial and Territorial Cancer Registries (PTCRs) have been reported to the CCR, which is maintained by Statistics Canada. Established as a person–oriented database, the CCR includes mechanisms for updating and clearing death records and is linked to provincial and territorial databases to help track patients across Canada who have been diagnosed with tumours.

0.2 CCR System Guide: Document Organization

The CCR System Guide has been separated into three parts to improve access and navigation. Although the three parts are separate, the three documents should be used in conjunction with each other. The different sections of the three–part CCR System Guide often refer to each other. The CCR System Guide is now composed of:

Part I: CCR Data Dictionary provides explanation on the reporting of data, including the scope and detailed information on the input and derived variables.

Part II: CCR Data Loading and Tabulation Master Files provides information on the data loading process, including in–depth descriptions of the various edits performed on the data. Part II also provides information on the Tabulation Master Files, including the scope, content and layout. Part II is followed by several appendices that contain supporting information such as explicit code set tables, guidelines to assist coders and other supportive information.

Part III: CCR Core Reference Tables provides detailed information on the CCR Core Reference Tables such as descriptions of the tables, their usage and any revisions made. Part III is an accompanying document to the CCR Reference Tables 2010.xls.

0.3 Part III Document Organization: Core Reference Tables

Appendix A – Core reference Tables – Describes in detail all CCR Core Reference Tables. An Excel spreadsheet is also included with supporting documentation about the tables.

1999 Addition of codes:
Due to Nunavut creation, new SGC codes have been added based on existing NWT SGC codes that fall within the geographic boundaries of the Nunavut Territories. SGC codes starting with 6204, 6205 and 6208 have been created based on their corresponding NWT SGC codes (SGC codes starting with 6104, 6105 and 6108 - excluding 6208095– Holman which becomes 6107095). Since corresponding SGC for NWT are still valid from 1996-1999, SGC codes starting with 6104, 6105 and 6108 have not been deleted.

  • [CSDuid] is composed of [PR][CD][CSD] where [PR] is a two-digit province/territory code, [CD] is a two-digit Census Division code and [CSD] is a three-digit Census Sub-Division code.
  • [CTuid] is composed of [CMA][CTname] where [CMA] is a three-digit code for Census Metropolitan Area and [CTname] is the last six digits of the seven-digit Census Tract Name. The first digit, which is always zero, is dropped.

For implementation reasons, [CSDuid] not associated to any [CTuid] are associated with a CCR Specific [CTuid] of '000000.00' which represents a location outside of a Census Metropolitain Area.

CCR Specific codes:

  • [CTuid] = [CMA]999.99 where [CMA] is a three-digit code for Census Metropolitain Areas that have at least one Census Tract Name different than '0000.00'. These codes represent an unknown [CTname] with a given [CMA].
  • [CTuid] = '999999.99' represents an unknown [CMA] and [CTname].

For implementation reasons, all of the above codes are associated with a CCR specific [CSDuid] code of '0000000'. This [CSDuid] code has no meaning.

CCR core scope

Description
This table contains the necessary information to assess whether a tumour is included within the CCR core scope or not. Since the scope of the CCR may change based on the date of diagnosis, a date range qualifies each topography, histology and behaviour combination. See Section 1.1.2.1 CCR core scope for more details.

Content

  • Year of diagnosis (Lower and Upper bound): Specifies the time frame where the ICD-O-2/3 topography, ICD-O-3 histology and ICD-O-3 behaviour combination is valid.
  • ICD-O-3 behaviour: Species the ICD-O-3 behaviour code accepted.
  • ICD-O-2/3 topography (Lower and Upper bound): Specifies the range of ICD-O-2/3 topography codes accepted.
  • ICD-O-3 histology (Lower and Upper bound): Specifies the range of ICD-O-3 histology codes accepted.

Usage

Tumour where the reported ICD-O-2/3 Topography, ICD-O-3 histology/behaviour and the year of date of diagnosis combination cannot be found within the corresponding ranges in the table is considered to be outside the CCR core scope.

Limitations

This table should not be used to validate ICD-O-2/3 topography nor the ICD-O-3 histology codes since corresponding ranges include invalid values.

ICD-9 to ICD-O-2 conversion table

Description
This table has been created by Statistics Canada in cooperation with the Ontario cancer treatment and research foundation and the Fichier des Tumeurs du Québec. It has been designed to convert an ICD-9 Cancer code to ICD-O-2/3 topography and morphology and assess the coherence between:

  • Reported ICD-9 Cancer code and ICD-O-2/3 topography values;
  • Reported ICD-9 Cancer code and ICD-O-2 histology values;
  • Reported ICD-9 Cancer code and ICD-O-2 behaviour values.

For both cases (conversion and coherence checking), strong limitations are applicable. See 'Limitations' below.

The ICD-9 to ICD-O-2 conversion is similar to the ICD-O-1 to ICD-O-2 conversion. The ICD-9 block of codes for primary malignant neoplasms is similar to the ICD-O-1 site codes and can be transformed into ICD-O-2 site codes. However, in this conversion, the ICD-9 non-malignant tumour codes are also converted. This conversion also provides a morphology code (which is more specific than the general "8000" code) for 104 of the 450 ICD-9 codes listed (Ex. ICD-9 code 200.0 converts to ICD-O-2/3 topography of C77.9 and ICD-O-2 Histology of 9593 and ICD-O-2 Behaviour of 3).

Content

This table contains converted ICD-O-2/3 topography, ICD-O-2 histology and behaviour for every CCR eligible ICD-9 cancer code.

This table contains the following fields:

  • ICD9: CCR eligible ICD-9 cancer code.
  • ICDO2/3T: Converted ICD-O-2/3 topography code.
  • ICDO2H:Converted ICD-O-2 histology code.
  • ICDO2B:Converted ICD-O-2 behaviour code.

Usage

  • Conversion from ICD-9 Cancer code to ICD-O-2/3 topography: ICD-O-2/3 topography is set to corresponding ICDO2/3T where reported ICD-9 Cancer code matches ICD9.
  • Edit between reported ICD-9 Cancer code and ICD-O-2/3 topography: reported ICD-O-2/3 topography must be equal to corresponding ICDO2/3T where reported ICD-9 Cancer code matches ICD9.
  • Edit between reported ICD-9 Cancer code and ICD-O-2 histology: If reported ICD-O-2 histology code equals "8000" and corresponding ICD-O-2 histology (based on reported ICD-9 cancer code) does not equal to "8000", a warning indicating that "A more specific histology code could have been provided based on reported ICD-9 cancer code." must be sent. If reported ICD-O-2 histology does not equal "8000", nothing further can be done.
  • Edit between reported ICD-9 Cancer code and ICD-O-2 behaviour: reported ICD-O-2 behaviour must be equal to corresponding ICD-O-2 behaviour where reported ICD-9 Cancer code matches ICD9.

Limitations

  • Table usage: this table has been created specifically for processing CCR data. It is not intended for other applications.
  • Converting non-malignant ICD-9 site codes: severe limitations exist in converting non-malignant ICD-9 site codes (225 and 230-239) to ICD-O-2 site codes due to broad site groupings which exist in ICD-9. Example: Single code 239.0, represents the entire digestive system. The comparable sites in ICD-O-2 are represented by 123 four-digit codes. For such cases, arbitrary equivalencies have been incorporated into the conversion. (This is the "Garbage In, Garbage Out" phenomenon - no detail is lost in the conversion process as there was no detail provided in the original code!)
  • Converted ICD-O-2 histology: In general, histological information is not represented in ICD-9 codes and, therefore, cannot always be transformed into precise ICD-O-2 histology codes. In addition, for codes that identify the histology of the tumour as well as the site, the histology code obtained through conversion will not be as specific as if directly coded with the ICD-O-2. Example: ICD-9 code 172._ represents "Malignant melanomas of the skin". It is therefore possible to convert code 172._ to the ICD-O-2 topography code for skin, which is C44._, and the ICD-O-2 histology code for "Melanoma, not otherwise specified", which is 8720. It should be noted that the histology code obtained through conversion is not as specific as if directly coded with the ICD-O-2 where a range of histology codes, 8720 to 8790, is available for different varieties of melanomas. This conversion provides a histology code (which is more specific than the general "8000" code) for only 104 of the 450 ICD-9 codes listed.
  • Extranodal lymphomas: It should be noted that all lymphomas, nodal and extranodal, are grouped together in the ICD-9 category of "Malignant neoplasms of lymphatic and haematopoietic tissue". It is not possible to identify extranodal lymphomas once they have been coded in ICD-9, therefore such information will not be available from converted data. This situation could result in differences in statistical tabulations. For example, lymphomas of stomach may be counted as lymphomas in ICD-9-based tabulations, as malignancies of stomach in ICD-O-2 site-based tabulations, or in the absence of explanatory notes to the contrary, they may be thought to be included with malignancies of stomach in converted ICD-O-2 site-based tabulations.

ICD-O-2 to ICD-O-3 conversion table

Description
This table is based on the "Conversion Of Neoplasms By Topography And Morphology From The International Classification Of Diseases For Oncology, Second Edition To International Classification Of Diseases For Oncology, Third Edition" (14/06/2001) produced by the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results Program (SEER) from National Cancer Institute (NCI). In some cases, PTCR conversion has been modified to meet Canadian specific requirements. The exceptions are documented in the table.

Content

This table contains converted ICD-O-3 histology and ICD-O-3 behaviour for every unique CCR eligible ICD-O-2 histology and behaviour combination. It also contains duplicate ICD-O-2 histology/behaviour entries when conversion depends on ICD-O-2/3 topography.

For coherence checking between reported ICD-O-2 and ICD-O-3 values (when applicable), this table also contains alternative conversion options.

This table contains the following fields:

  • ICDO2H: CCR eligible ICD-O-2 histology code.
  • ICDO2B: CCR eligible ICD-O-2 behaviour code.
  • ICDO2T (Lower and Upper bound): Range of ICD-O-2/3 topography codes for which the conversion is to be used.
  • ICDO3H: Converted ICD-O-3 histology code.
  • ICDO3B: Converted ICD-O-3 behaviour code.
  • Review Flag: An indicator that indicated that the conversion must be hand reviewed. Possible values are:
    '0': No reviewed required.
    '1': Review required.
    '2': Review optional (for optimal coding).
  • Conversion flag: When multiple conversions are possible, this indicator tells which entry must be used for conversion purpose. Possible values are:
    '0': Alternative conversion.
    '1': Primary conversion.
  • CCR specific flag: An indicator that indicates that the conversion has been changed from PTCR to meet Canadian specific requirements. Possible values are:
    '0': Compliant with PTCR: ICD-O-3 histology/behaviour and review flag not changed.
    '1': Altered from PTCR: ICD-O-3 histology/behaviour and/or review flag changed.

Usage

  • Conversion: Converted ICD-O-3 histology/behaviour are found in the table where reported ICD-O-2 histology matches ICDO2H, reported ICD-O-2 behaviour matches ICDO2B, reported ICD-O-2/3 topography is between ICDO2T_LB and ICDO2T_UB inclusively and conversion flag = 1. If review flag = 1, then a warning requesting for manual review of the conversion must be sent to the reporting jurisdiction.
  • Edit: Acceptable ICD-O-3 histology/behaviour values are found in the table where reported ICD-O-2 histology matches ICDO2H, reported ICD-O-2 behaviour matches ICDO2B, reported ICD-O-2/3 topography is between ICDO2T_LB and ICDO2T_UB inclusively. Other combinations are invalid. Conversion flag and review flag are ignored.

Limitations

  • This table should only be used for conversion from ICD-O-2 to ICD-O-3 (not the other way around) and coherence edits between ICD-O-2 and ICD-O-3 values.
  • This table must not be used to assess coherence among ICD-O-2 values nor ICD-O-3 values since it contains many possible histology and behaviour combinations from a subject-matter point of view.

Laterality codes added:

Paired site: midline tumour, code 5 was added for sixteen sites identified in the NAACCR edit. Paired brain and CNS sites (C700, C710 - C714 and C722-C725) as well as paired skin sites (C441-C443 and C445 - C447).
2007

Laterality codes have a new CCR meaning. See T19 in the Data dictionary for additional information.

Laterality codes removed:
Laterality codes have been removed from several sites (ICD-O-2/3: C129, C313, C318, C319, C398, C408, C409, C418, C444, C448, C449, C638, C688, C715, C716, C718, C719, C728, C739, C764, C765, C809). Laterality code '0' is the only eligible code for these sites.

Laterality codes added:
Laterality codes '1', '2', '3', '4', and '9' have been added to several sites (ICD-O-2/3: C300, C340, C413, C414, and C570). Note that several exclusions are indicated for these sites. These exclusions should be coded to '0'.

Laterality code '3' has been added to several sites (ICD-O-2/3: C70.0, C71.0-C71.4, and C72.2-C72.5).

Laterality codes changed:
Laterality codes have changed in several sites (ICD-O-2/3: C07.9, C08.0, C08.1, C09.0, C09.1, C09.8, C09.9, C30.1, C31.0, C31.2, C34.1, C34.2*, C34.3, C34.8, C34.9, C38.4, C40.0, C40.1, C40.2, C40.3, C44.1, C44.2, C44.3, C44.5, C44.6, C44.7, C47.1, C47.2, C49.1, C49.2, C50.0, C50.1, C50.2, C50.3, C50.4, C50.5, C50.6, C50.8, C50.9, C56.9, C62.0, C62.1, C62.9, C63.0, C63.1, C64.9, C65.9, C66.9, C69.0, C69.1, C69.2, C69.3, C69.4, C69.5, C69.6, C69.8, C69.9, C71.0, C71.1, C71.2, C71.3, C71.4, C74.0, C74.1, C74.9). Most of the changes are due to the addition of code '3' and code '4'.

Content added:
A Notes column has been added to provide additional information on the corresponding site and laterality combination.
2004

Table structure: A time range has been added to support changes to valid site and laterality combination based on the Date of Diagnosis. (for example: ovary before and after 1999)

Laterality codes removed:

  • CCRLaterality code '3' has been removed from the table since its an invalid Laterality code.
  • Laterality codes '1', '2' and '4' have been removed for Unknown primary site (ICD-O-2/3: C80.9) since the laterality cannot be known if the site is not known in the first place.
  • Laterality code '4' has been removed for Overlapping lesion of urinary organs (ICD-O-2/3: C68.8) (Typographic error in the former table.).

Laterality codes added:
Laterality codes '1', '2', '4', and '9' have been added for five Central Nervous System sites (ICD-O-2/3: C70,0, C72.2-C72.5). Laterality codes '3' and '4' have also been added to other sites (ICD-O-2/3: C71.0-C71.4)

Equivalent topographies for overlapping and unspecified sites

Description
This table contains equivalent ICD-O-2/3 topography codes for overlapping and unspecified sites.

Content

  • Highest topography: ICD-O-2/3 topography code of the tumour having the highest ICD-O-2/3 topography code numerically. (For example: C728 > C700)
  • Lowest Topography (Lower and Upper bound): ICD-O-2/3 topography code range of the tumour having the lowest ICD-O-2/3 topography code numerically. (for example: C388 < C398)

Usage

  • Two tumours are considered to have mutually equivalent topographies if the higher ICD-O-2/3 topography code (numerically) is found in the highest topography column and the lower ICD-O-2/3 topography code (numerically) is found within the corresponding lowest topography code range columns.
  • If both ICD-O-2/3 topography codes are identical, tumours have indeed equivalent topographies and thus there is no need to use this table.
  • If the higher ICD-O-2/3 topography code cannot be found in highest topography column, then the corresponding topography has no equivalent topography other than itself.

Limitations

This table should not be used to validate ICD-O-2/3 topography since corresponding range includes invalid values.

Equivalent histologies

Description
This table contains equivalent ICD-O-3 histology codes. This table is used for assessing multiple primary tumours for the CCR Tabulation Master File (TMF).

Content

  • Lowest histology (Lower and Upper bound): ICD-O-3 histology code of the tumour having the lowest ICD-O-3 histology code numerically. (for example: 8000 < 8010)
  • Highest histology (Lower and Upper bound): ICD-O-3 histology code of the tumour having the highest ICD-O-3 histology code numerically. (for example: 8046 > 8040)
  • Year of diagnosis (Lower and Upper bound): Time frame for which the corresponding equivalent histologies are valid.

Usage

  • Two tumours are considered to have mutually equivalent histologies if the lower ICD-O-3 Histology code (numerically) is found within the lowest histology code range column and the higher ICD-O-3 histology code (numerically) is found within the corresponding highest histology code range column.
  • If the two ICD-O-3 histology codes are identical, tumours have indeed equivalent histologies and thus there is no need to use this table.
  • If the lower ICD-O-3 histology code cannot be found within the lowest histology code range, then the corresponding histology has no equivalent histology other than itself.

Limitations

This table should not be used to validate ICD-O-3 Histology since corresponding ranges include invalid values.

Location

The table can be found in the document CCR reference tables 2010.xls under the tab equivalent histologies.
