Information Specification

The data items required for National Cancer Data Standards for Wales – Patient Group Specific – Childhood and their equivalent labels in COSD V9.0, where there is an equivalent, are listed below.

 

Where the specification cites NHS Wales Data Dictionary, please refer to the Dictionary for the relevant guidance i.e. definition, format, or code list.

 

For consistency, all dates listed in the Specification are standardised as ccyymmdd.

 

Where D is denoted in Status, this indicates that the information should be derived from another data item. This typically occurs with data items that are simply text representations of their code counterparts. Other Status codes are M (Mandatory), R (Required) – the data item should be recorded where applicable and O (Optional).

 

 

Core data items should be collected for all cancers.  To reduce replication of information, Core data items have not been listed in this patient group specific Standard and users should refer to National Cancer Data Standards for Wales – 1. National Cancer Data Set - Full list DSCNs.xlsx (live.com) for a list of Core requirements. However, in some cases, the site/patient group specific application of Core data items may differ e.g. a particular site/patient group may require additional or fewer codes to those already published in Core, or perhaps have additional business rules as to how the Core data item should be coded. Where this occurs, the Core data item will be replicated in the site/patient group specific Standard with the respective additional site/patient group specific detail. These are flagged in the following table with an * next to the data item name.

 

 

For data items used in the National Cancer Data Standards for Wales that already exist within the NHS Wales Data Dictionary. These data items have been flagged with an next to the data item name, as whilst this introduces a change to an existing information standard, the immediate use of this mandate will be used as a framework for the development of the CIS, therefore service/data providers should continue with ‘business as usual’ in terms of the data being collected and reported.

Ann Arbor Extranodality

Additional staging designation based on extranodal involvement

Code List

E

E - Extranodal involvement

M

Ann Arbor Extranodality (HA8300)

 

Note:

For Primary Nodal Lymphoma: Code E if there is involvement of a single extranodal site by contiguous spread (i.e. directly adjoining) from the known nodal group.

For Primary Extranodal Lymphoma: Code E if there is a single extranodal lesion with or without lymphatic involvement in the draining area (e.g., a thyroid lymphoma with draining cervical lymph node involvement = IIE)

The designation of Stage IV for nodal disease implies disseminated disease involving (distant) extranodal sites.  Multiple extranodal deposits should be considered Stage IV and E should not be used.  However by convention, involvement of the bone marrow, liver, lung, pleura and CSF are always considered Stage IV even if the disease is isolated to that organ.
