LOINC description : This data item will clarify the number of simultaneous tumors (lesions) and the number
of histologies for a given reported tumor. At a facility, this will reflect information
for an individual abstract being prepared. At a central registry, this item can be
consolidated to represent the best information obtained for a reportable tumor from
multiple sources. Information on the number of simultaneous tumors or lesions (per
SEER multiple primary rules) would make it possible to more accurately consolidate
source records and to facilitate the automation of this process. .. NAACCR Data Standards
