Status Final References Source 1: 2007 SEER Manual pgs: 3 Notes: Source 2: pgs: Notes: Question Reportability/Ambiguous Terminology--Prostate: Text from prostate biopsy states "highly suspicious for but not diagnostic of adenocarcinoma suggest another biopsy" Is this case reportable? Discussion Answer Do not report. "Not diagnostic of" means that while the pathologist is seeing some features that resemble cancer, there are not enough features to feel comfortable making an unquestionable diagnosis. Watch for another biopsy of the patient in the next 3-6 months. The statement "not diagnostic of" overrules the "highly suspicious" statement. History Last Updated 10/14/09 | |
