Question:

Grade: Can the FIGO grade be used to code the morphologic grade? See discussion.

Discussion:

FIGO Grade is coded in CS SSF 7 in the Corpus Uteri schema. The SEER Manual does not address using FIGO grade for coding grade in morphology.

Answer:

Do not use FIGO grade to code the grade field. See the sentence below the table in Instruction #6 in the Grade Coding Instructions for cases diagnosed 2014 and later, http://seer.cancer.gov/tools/grade/

History:

Prior to 2014

Do not use FIGO grade to code the grade field per rule #9 on page 79 of the SEER Manual. http://www.seer.cancer.gov/manuals/2013/SPCSM_2013_maindoc.pdf
