Should be discussed at the Onco WG. "Extensive" and "not extensive" are not defined Cancer Modifiers. The OR list is not helpful, either. I am not sure this can be rescued in a meaningful way.
Hi @dimshitc , @cgreich My thoughts on it:
OR statements make the G9069 definition unmappable altogether as it highlights a spectrum of LC behavior ranging from widespread at the time of initial diagnosis to recurrence patterns. It represents the 'Advanced' disease phenotype.
For G9068, this can potentially be mapped to the Limited Stage Modifier;
However, you have to somehow address the ETL issues with:
a) Dates assignments (as the code states the historical fact at the time of initial diagnosis).
b) Resolving staging conflicts (HCPCS vs. non-HCPCS).
Comment on (b): Сommunit wants to avoid Visits coming from CPT4 and HCPCS codes, but at the same time, it seems that you want to add some proxies for Cancer Stages. We have to be consistent.
a) Date assignments (as the code states the historical fact at the time of initial diagnosis).
Not a big deal. The recording date does not have to be exactly on the day it became known. From a disease perspective, the date is unknown and unknowable anyway.
b) Resolving staging conflicts (HCPCS vs. non-HCPCS).
We have the Episodes for that. Their heuristic will do that. Only problem: We don't have such heuristic yet.
