Description:

This item indicates the version of the AJCC Cancer Surveillance .dll incorporated into the cancer registry software that created the record with stage data diagnosed 2018 and later. It should be recorded the first time the AJCC ID (including a value of XX) and/or Schema ID are determined using the .dll. The value is obtained from the .dll.

Formerly: AJCC Cancer Surveillance API Version Original

Rationale:

Over time, the definitions and other content contained in the .dll may change. This item identifies the original content used to code the items.

General Notes:

This data item will be generated by registry software.

The AJCC Cancer Surveillance API contains contents to support collection of AJCC’s TNM, EOD, and directly entered Summary Stage 2018. The underlying contents are loaded from AJCC’s API and SEER’s web service. The API is versioned independently from the imported contents.

The value indicates the version of the AJCC Cancer Surveillance API originally used to code the items listed below and is obtained from the API. It should be recorded the first time the AJCC ID (including a value of XX) and/or Schema ID is determined and should not be updated each time the related input fields are modified.  However, if changes made to the diagnosis and/or date of diagnosis result in a different AJCC ID and/or Schema ID, the value for AJCC Cancer Surveillance DLL Version Original should be reset.
