Efficient Tracking of Inactive Stages in Cancer Staging Form

Efficient Tracking of Inactive Stages in Cancer Staging Form

With this enhancement in the AJCC Cancer Staging Version 10, when a cancer stage has already been documented with a specific version and cancer type, and there is a need to document another stage against the same diagnosis with a different version, the previously documented stage is automatically marked as inactive. This inactive stage carries an ‘inactive’ tag for clear identification and is preserved in the system logs. This ensures that users can view all previous stages, along with their respective versions, directly from the staging form, providing a comprehensive historical view of the patient’s cancer staging journey.
