Inquiry and Response System

The Inquiry and Response System includes a large number of questions and answers submitted over the past few years. In most cases, questions similar to your inquiry may already have been submitted. The Search Database feature to seek an answer to your question is now required. If, after reviewing the results, you do not find your answer, use the Submit a Question feature that will appear at the end of the search results. Please note, additional information to assist the I & R team in answering your question will be required and appears when you submit a question.

Search Database Click on search database to review previously submitted questions and answers in the following areas: AJCC Staging Cancer Program Standards 2004, Revised Edition Collaborative Stage Facility Oncology Registry Data Standards (FORDS) National Cancer Data Base (NCDB) Multiple Primary / Histology Rules Search Tips A maximum of 4 keywords may be entered for your search. Do not use punctuation or abbreviations. Keywords entered will be found in either the question or answer fields on the I & R screen. Fewer keywords will result in a larger number of search responses. More keywords will narrow the number of serach responses, e.g., "multiplicity counter" will return many more search responses then "multiplicity counter foci".
