Level 0 Cancer Care Cancer Staging (AJCC TNM)

The AJCC Cancer Staging System describes the severity of an individual's cancer based on the magnitude of the original (primary) tumor as well as on the extent cancer has spread in the body. Understanding the stage of the cancer helps doctors to develop a prognosis and design a treatment plan for individual patients. The AJCC Cancer Staging System classifies cancers by the size and extent of the primary tumor (T), involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence or absence of distant metastases (M), supplemented in recent years by evidence-based prognostic and predictive factors. There is a T,N,M staging algorithm for cancers of virtually every anatomic site and histology, with the primary exception of pediatric cancers. The three categories—T, N, and M—and the prognostic factors collectively describe, with rare exceptions, the extent of tumor, including local spread, regional nodal involvement, and distant metastasis. It is important to stress that each component (T, N, and M) is referred to as a Category. The term stage is used when T, N, and M and cancer site–specific required prognostic factors are combined. The Criteria for T, N, and M are defined separately for cancers in different anatomic locations and/or for different histologic types.

SNOMED CT has content related to the AJCC T category under the hierarchy of 385356007 'Tumor stage finding' but it is outdated and inaccurate. SNOMED CT codes do not always make a distinction between clinical and pathological classifications (e.g. cT1 and pT1) and are represented by the same SNOMED CT code 23351008 'T1 category'). SNOMED CT does not have complete T,N,M staging terminology and is an incomplete data set. Most importantly, the SNOMED structure is not a good fit for the AJCC data elements that can change as new editions/versions of the AJCC Cancer Staging System are published. However, the AJCC is planning on submitting the data elements to the National Library of Medicine’s Value Set Authority Center (VSAC), in parallel to the submission to USCDI. The AJCC feels that VSAC would be an appropriate centralized repository for AJCC data elements. This would facilitate EHR systems' use of the data elements that the AJCC develops and maintains.

Level 0 Cancer Care AJCC T Category

For both Clinical (cT), Pathological (pT) and Neoadjuvant (ycT or ypT), the T Category is defined as the size and/or contiguous extension of the primary tumor. Note: The roles of the size component and the extent of contiguous spread are specifically defined for each cancer site. Primary Tumor (T) Categories: Primary tumor categories have specific notations to describe the existence, size, or extent of the tumor. TX: No information about the T category for the primary tumor, or it is unknown or cannot be assessed T0: No evidence of a primary tumor Tis: Carcinoma in situ T1, T2, T3, or T4: Primary invasive tumor, for which a higher category generally means • an increasing size • an increasing local extension, or • both

UDI-Device Identifier or UDI-DI

The DI portion of the UDI placed on the lowest package level of a device that is required to meet UDI label requirements. If the device is not packaged, the UDI may be on the device itself, thereby satisfying both the UDI label and the direct mark (DM) requirement if the UDI is intended to be permanent. The primary DI is the main (primary) lookup for a medical device and meets the requirements to uniquely identify a device through its distribution and use.

Regional Lymph Node (N) Categories Categorizing regional lymph node involvement depends on its existence and extent. NX No information about the N category for the regional lymph nodes, or it is unknown or cannot be assessed N0 No regional lymph node involvement with cancer and for some disease sites, nonnodal regional disease as noted earlier N1, N2, or N3 Evidence of regional node(s) containing cancer, with • an increasing number, and/or • regional nodal group involvement, and/or • size of the nodal metastatic cancer deposit, or • non-nodal regional disease as noted earlier for melanoma and Merkel cell carcinoma, and for colorectal carcinoma

Level 0 Cancer Care AJCC Stage Group

Cancer patients with similar prognoses are grouped by using prognostic stage group tables. Clinical and pathological stage groups are defined for each case as appropriate. These disease-specific groups are composed of the following categories: • cT, cN, and cM or pM • pT, pN, and cM or pM • factors for both groups, if applicable Rules for assigning prognostic stage groups: Prognostic stage groups are based on combinations of T, N, M, and relevant prognostic factors and usually define groups of patients with similar outcomes to help define prognosis and appropriate treatment, as well as to enable comparisons of similar groups of patients between institutions and over time.

Karnofsky

The Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) is a tool used to measure a patient's functional status. It can be used to compare the effectiveness of different therapies and to help assess the prognosis of certain patients, such as those with certain cancers. The KPS score ranges from 0 to 100 in intervals of 10. Higher scores are associated with better functional status, with 100 representing no symptoms or evidence of disease, and 0 representing death.
