Abstract

Because lymphoma comprises numerous histologic subtypes, understanding the reasons for ongoing increases in its incidence requires surveillance and etiologic study of these subtypes. However, this research has been hindered by many coexisting classification schemes. The Revised European American classification of Lymphoid Neoplasms (REAL)/WHO system developed in 1994 and now used in clinical settings was not incorporated into the International Classification of Diseases-Oncology (ICD-O), used by cancer registries, until the release of the third edition (ICD-O-3) in 2001. Studies including patients diagnosed before 2001 may have codes from earlier ICD-O versions that must be converted to ICD-O-3 and have higher proportions of unclassified (e.g., lymphoma and not otherwise specified) cases. To better understand (a) the agreement of computer-converted ICD-O-3 codes to ICD-O-3 codes generated directly from diagnostic pathology reports and (b) the reproducibility of unclassified status, we reviewed a population-based series of diagnostic pathology reports for lymphoma patients diagnosed before (1988-1994; n = 1,493) and after (1998-2000; n = 1,527) the REAL/WHO scheme was introduced. Overall, computer- and coder-assigned ICD-O-3 cod...Continue Reading
