Conversion Of Neoplasms By Topography And Morphology From The International Classification Of Diseases For Oncology Second Edition Icd O 2 To International Classification Of Diseases For Oncology Icd O First Edition And Field Trials

Epidemiologists, statisticians, oncologists as well as tumor registrars are interested in studying trends in both incidence and mortality. To be able to compare data from one period to another, it is essential that conversion tables be available so that all data is on the same code. The following conversion (comparison or equivalency) tables are from ICD-O-2 and back to the Field Trial editions and ICD-O-1. These tables are divided into Topography and Morphology. There is only one conversion table for the topography since ICD-O-1 and the Field Trials used the same Topography section. There is also one table for Morphology but with three columns: two for the Field Trials, 1988 and 1986 and one for ICD-O-1. The 1987 Field Trial was exactly the same as the 1988 Field Trial except for three terms in Hodgkin's disease: 9657, 9658 and 9659. In all probability this conversion will not be done on records, although a program on tape will be made on request. This conversion is made to help users see what the equivalent code number(s) was in a Field Trial or ICD-O-1.

To be able to compare data from one period to another, it is essential that conversion tables be available. The following conversion (comparison or equivalency) tables are from ICD-O-1 and the Field Trial editions to ICD-0-2. These tables are divided into Topography and Morphology. There is only one conversion table for the topography since ICD-O-1 and the Field Trials used the same Topography section. However there are three tables for Morphology: one for ICD-O-1, one for the Field Trials, and one for special codes introduced by the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (SEER) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI).

International Encyclopedia of Public Health, Second Edition, Seven Volume Set is an authoritative and comprehensive guide to the major issues, challenges, methods, and approaches of global public health. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, this new edition combines complementary scientific fields of inquiry, linking biomedical research with the social and life sciences to address the three major themes of public health research, disease, health processes, and disciplines. This book helps readers solve real-world problems in global and local health through a multidisciplinary and comprehensive approach. Covering all dimensions of the field, from the details of specific diseases, to the organization of social insurance agencies, the articles included cover the fundamental research areas of health promotion, economics, and epidemiology, as well as specific diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and reproductive health. Additional articles on the history of public health, global issues, research priorities, and health and human rights make this work an indispensable resource for students, health researchers, and practitioners alike. Provides the most comprehensive, high-level, internationally focused reference work available on public health Presents an invaluable resource for both researchers familiar with the field and non-experts requiring easy-to-find, relevant, global information and a greater understanding of the wider issues Contains interdisciplinary coverage across all aspects of public health Incorporates biomedical and health social science issues and perspectives Includes an international focus with contributions from global domain experts, providing a complete picture of public health issues
