Question:

Reportability/Recurrence (Pre-2007)--Bladder: If a patient has had recurrent invasive bladder cancers since 1971, should the latest recurrence in 2003 be SEER reportable because the case has yet to be reported to SEER?

Discussion:

Answer:

For tumors diagnosed prior to 2007:

Because this 2003 recurrent bladder cancer was initially diagnosed prior to 1973, it is not reportable to SEER.

For tumors diagnosed 2007 or later, refer to the MP/H rules. If there are still questions about how this type of tumor should be coded, submit a new question to SINQ and include the difficulties you are encountering in applying the MP/H rules.
