Hematopoietic & Lymphoid Neoplasm Project
Originally released 1/4/2011, updated 1/5/2012
This update does not include a revised manual or database. The only change was to prevent the manual from locking on January 1 each year. If your database and manual did not lock, you do not need to download the update.
New reportability instructions and data collection rules for hematopoietic and lymphoid neoplasms go into effect for cases diagnosed beginning January 1, 2010. These instructions and rules were developed by the Hematopoietic Working Group. Two tools have been developed for use beginning in 2010:
- The Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Neoplasm Case Reportability and Coding Manual
- The Hematopoietic Database
The coding manual is embedded in the Hematopoietic Database (Hematopoietic DB). This manual contains reportability instructions and rules for determining the number of primaries, the primary site and histology, and the cell lineage or phenotype. The manual also includes several appendices. Use the instructions and rules within the manual first. The Hematopoietic DB is used when the rules specifically instruct the abstractor to refer to the DB or when the registrar has used all of the rules in the manual.
The Hematopoietic DB is an electronic tool developed to assist in screening for reportable cases and determining reportability requirements. The database contains abstracting and coding information for all hematopoietic and lymphoid neoplasms (9590/3-9992/3).
Prior to using either the manual or the Hematopoietic DB, view the hematopoietic and lymphoid neoplasm educational presentations. These presentations cover essential topics such as:
- Disease presentation and the diagnostic process
- The lineages of hematopoietic and lymphoid neoplasms
- How to move through the rules and the database
- How to use the rules
- Using the database to its fullest potential
- How to use the electronic manual efficiently
For questions about the database and manual, Ask a SEER Registrar.
Download the Hematopoietic Database version 1.6.3 (includes coding manual)
Download the installation program for Hematopoietic Database and Coding Manual [HemaDB_1_6_3.exe ].
Refer to the Revision History and the ReadMe.txt for the list of changes to the manual and software.
The coding manual is also available to download separately: Hematopoitic_Instructions_and_Rules.pdf (4.1 MB)
