Recent Updates:
The Tumor Reporting System has been updated with significant improvements: 1) more tumor templates are included, 2) SNOMED-CT and ICD9 codes are being incorporated, and 3) final report can be download by the users to their local computers.

How to use the Tumor Reporting System:

From the above drop-down list, select the organ of interest.
Click "Get Synposis". A report template (checklist) will appear.
Complete the organ template following the on-screen instructions. Not all data fields have to be filled out.
Click one of the three buttons at the end of the template:
a "Get Synopsis as a List" - gives a list of the entered data elements which can be copied and pasted into your LIS system.
b "Get Synopsis as a Report" - compiles entered data into a more compact report format which can be copied and pasted into your LIS system.
c "Save Report to Your Computer" - allows you to download the discrete data elements of the tumor report into a Microsoft Access database.
Close the browser to permanently purge (erase) the final report.

Background:
The American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer [CoC] mandates that pathology reports at CoC-approved programs included all scientifically validated or regularly used data elements for each site and specimen. In response, the College of American Pathologist (CAP) has produced cancer protocols with checklists, to be used as a resource by pathologists. In order to be inclusive, these CAP checklists are often very long, and require extensive, cumbersome editing, making room for clerical errors. There are many other sources of tumor synopsis templates, each of which with its own strength and weakness, tailors to a particular practice setting where it is created and used. CoC imposes no restriction as to the style or source of the templates to be used. Although the CAP protocol checklists would be good candidates for this project, its copyright prohibits the use by us or unlicensed "secondary disseminator". In addition, overwhelming feedbacks from our users indicate that concise tumor-reporting templates with scientifically validated data elements and clinically important information are highly desirable and more manageable than exhausting long checklist. We therefore create this set of templates based on those from multiple sources.
