Question:

Multiplicity Counter/Ambiguous terminology: How should these fields be coded for cases with an unknown date of diagnosis?

Discussion:

Answer:

If the date of diagnosis is unknown, it is likely that you have little information for this case. Both multiplicity counter and ambiguous terminology fields would probably be coded as unknown. However, if information on the number of tumors and the diagnostic confirmation are available, code these fields as specified in the manual.
