LOINC description : This is the AJCC M Descriptor component that is derived from coded fields, using the
CS algorithm, effective with 2004 diagnosis. CS is a group of data items set up by
a joint task force including representatives from SEER, ACoS, CDC, NAACCR, NCRA, and
AJCC, designed to provide a single uniform set of codes and rules for coding EOD/
stage information to meet the needs of all of the participating standard setters.
CS incorporates all of the fields from SEER 10-digit EOD, in a modified form, and
adds several additional fields. When CS data items are coded, a computer algorithm
allows generation of AJCC Sixth Edition TNM stage, SEER Summary Stage 1977, and SEER
Summary Stage 2000. Separate CS fields are provided in the NAACCR record for these
outputs. This derived output records a c, p, a, y, or N for clinical, pathological,
autopsy only, or y prefix, respectively. For those tumors in which staging classification
is performed during or following initial multimodality therapy, the category is identified
by a y prefix to be derived from the computerized algorithm... NAACCR Data Standards
