Breast cancer coding issues
These modules on coding topography, morphology and cancer stage have been developed through a collaboration between the European Network of Cancer Registries, Joint Research Centre of the European Commission and ecancer.
The purpose of the modules is to train the cancer registrars to implement the international classifications for coding a cancer case.
This module ‘Breast cancer’ presents the rules for coding topography, morphology and stage of breast cancer using the third edition of the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology (ICD-O-3) and the eighth edition of the UICC TNM Classification of malignant tumours.
