Code Systems defined as part of this Implementation Guide

Name Definition
AnatomicalDirectionCS Anatomical location or specimen further detailing directionality. Codes are from NCI
BreastCancerStageCS Codes representing the overall stage of the cancer, based on criteria defined by the staging system being used. The preferred staging system is American Joint Committee on Cancer, 8th Edition, Breast Cancer Chapter. Codes and descriptions have been redacted due to copyright restrictions.
BreastCancerTypeCS Histologic types of breast cancer. Codes are drawn from ICD-O-3. Codes are presented as local codes due to the lack of a ICD-O-3 terminology server available to the FHIR IG publisher.
BreastSiteCS Topography of the breast. Codes are drawn from ICD-O-3. Codes are presented as local codes due to the lack of a ICD-O-3 terminology server available to the FHIR IG publisher.
BreastSpecimenCollectionMethodCS The surgical method used to obtain the tissue sample.
BreastSpecimenTypeCS The type of specimen obtained from the breast.
DiagnosticServiceCS The type of laboratory service used in producing a laboratory result
ExceptionValueCS Reasons that a value associated with a test or other finding is missing. Extended set based on http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/observation-valueabsentreason
HER2IHCMethodCS Value set containing methods of determining HER2 status by immunohistochemistry
HER2ISHMethodCS Value set containing In Situ Hybridization methods of determining HER2 status
HER2StatusCS HER2 status overall result
MammaprintRiskScoreInterpretationCS Intepretation of Mammaprint Recurrence Score
MitoticCountScoreCS Value set containing the scores for Nottingham Histologic Score Mitotic Rate
MorphologyBehaviorCS The morphologic behavior of the cancer. These are the suffix to the ICD-O-3 histologic type codes. Codes are presented as local codes due to the lack of a ICD-O-3 terminology server available to the FHIR IG publisher.
NuclearGradeCS The nuclear grade describes how closely the nuclei of cancer cells look like the nuclei of normal breast cells. In general, the higher the nuclear grade, the more abnormal the nuclei are and the more aggressive the tumor cells tend to be. The nuclear grade is a part of overall tumor grade.
OncotypeDxDCISRiskScoreInterpretationCS Intepretation of OncotypeDX DCIS (Ductal Carcinoma In Situ) Recurrence Score
OncotypeDxInvasiveRiskScoreInterpretationCS Intepretation of OncotypeDX Recurrence Score for invasive cancers.
PositiveNegativeCS Value set containing the values positive and negative. Values are from National Library of Medicine Metathesaurus.
PositiveNegativeEquivocalCS Interpretation of a test result as positive, negative or equivocal.
RecurrenceRiskScoreInterpretationCS Interpretations of risk as high, intermediate, or low. Answer set taken from LOINC LL3198-0
StageTimingPrefixCS When staging was done, relative to treatment events.
StagingMethodCS The methodology or standard used to assign the cancer's overall stage.
StainingIntensityCS Part of the Allred scoring, based on the intensity of that staining, on a scale of 0 (Negative) to 3 (Strong).
YesNoUnknownCS A simple value set containing the values Yes (or true), No (or false), and Unknown
