Significant notes, excerpts, and instruction from the 2010 Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Neoplasm Case Reportability and Coding Manual, and use of the Hematopoietic Database, will be covered in greater detail than during the prerequisite Web-based educational presentations. Staging of these neoplasm will also be included using the Collaborative Stage Data Collection System Version 2. The CCR:DMU course intends to provide an executive summary of all functions and processes of the central registry, and is aimed at new or current cancer registry staff, and users of cancer registry data. Many of the faculty experts have taught their subject annually since the first offering in 1989, fine tuning their presentation from year to year. Jerri Linn Phillips and Tom C. Tucker served as class facilitators. Educational Sessions - Wednesday, April 21st – Friday, April 23rd |
