• Registrars – New to Seasoned• 19 out of 27 took the Assessment• Overall Percentage – Correct 69%
Question #1
• Recurrence – No MPH Rule Applies• The Rt chest wall mass is a metastatic site for breast. The 2016
path did not contain breast tissue, therefore it is not a new primary. SEER Inquiry. metastatic site for breast. The 2016 path did not contain breast tissue, therefore it is not a new primary. SEER Inquiry.
Question #2
• One - Rule M8 - Rt. Forearm and Rt Shoulder C44.6

Question #3
• Recurrence• MP/H General Rule 7 – “Do not use a physician’s statement to decide
whether the patient has a recurrence of a previous cancer or a new primary. Use the multiple primary rules as written unless a pathologist compares the present tumor to the “original” tumor and states that this tumor is a recurrence of cancer from the previous primary.”e 7 - Use the multiple primary rules as written unless the pathologist
Question #4
• rupT2c pNX cM0 Stg 99
• AJCC - Prostate rules for pathologic staging - " In general, total prostatectomy including regional lymph node dissection with full histologic evaluation is required for complete pathologic classification."
Question #5
• 8523/3 - H17
• Mucinous (8480) is not a type of ductal ca [H12] (8022, 8035,8501 - 8508). Rule H 17 takes you to Table 3 - Infiltrating duct and one or more of the histologies in column 2, which includes mucinous, code to 8523/3
Question #6
• 8140 – H6
• Rule H6 applies because there is no % given. 3rd bullet - The percentage of mucinous/colloid or signet ring cell carcinoma is unknown.
Question #7
• 999
• Weight is collect "at time of diagnosis". Since is a recurrent case you probably do not know their weight at diagnosis, so 999 is appropriate.
Question #8
• 32 • FORDS Surgery codes : 45 - Wide excision or reexcision of lesion or minor (local)
amputation with margins more than 1 cm, NOS. Margins MUST be microscopically negative [SEER Note: Codes 30 to 35 include less than a wide excision. less than or equal to 1-cm margin, or status of margin is unknown. If it is stated to be a wide excision or re-excision, but the margins are unknown, code to 30. Assign a surgery code from the 30-35 range when any margin is less than 1 cm.
