Staging and Coding
Based on AJCC, SEER Summary Stage, and SEER EOD. When staging cancer we have three different types of staging that we code. You are to do as much research as you can to tell me the similarities and differences between these staging systems. Who created and monitors them, what is the importance, what do we abstract, how are they alike, how are they different, what are the types of staging (clinical, pathological, post-therapy, etc.) and what information do we need to accurately code these staging system.
