LOINC description : This variable captures the results of the linkage of the registry database with the
Indian Health Service patient registration database. The IHS linkage identifies cancer
cases among American Indians who were misclassified as non-Indian in the registry
database in order to improve the quality of cancer surveillance data on American Indians
in both the individual registries and in all registries as a whole. The goal is to
include cancer incidence data for American Indians in the United States Cancer Statistics
by use of this variable as well as the race variable. .. NAACCR Data Standards and
