Welcome to the New CSv2 Web site!

The Collaborative Stage Data Collection System (CS) Web pages serve as the main repository for CS-related items including coding instructions, software, and education and training resources for cancer registrars and cancer registry software vendors.

We are launching our revised Web site with the release of CSv2. While the content is similar to what was available for CSv1, new features have been added to make the new site more user-friendly. Hyperlinks and “hover” menus have been added to assist in navigation.

While you familiarize yourself with the new Web site, an abbreviated site map is outlined below to facilitate ease of navigation to the documents and tools required for implementation of CSv2.

Coding Instructions

• CSv2 Implementation Guide (585K PDF)
  • CSv2 Tables Used in Stage Derivation Worksheet
• Schema ID Names/Sites/Histology Groups Worksheet (35K PDF)
• General Rules (Part I, Section 1)
• Lab Tests, Tumor Markers, and Site-Specific Factor Notes (Part I, Section 2) – coming soon!
• Standard Setter Requirements

Software

• CSv2 production version software
• Test products

The CSv2 teams are still resolving some outstanding issues. Revisions to existing content and new features will be announced on this page. Check back often to view news and updated content. Additionally, e-mail notifications will be sent to cancer registry professionals and vendors as updates for CSv2 products are released. In the meantime, CSv2 teams will continue their diligent efforts to provide the cancer registry community with the CSv2 products for 2010 implementation.

Questions and comments about this Web site should be directed to ajcc@facs.org.
