We did not include the SEER Site Summary. The ICD-O3 pattern (topography codes) for the site C50% (e.g., C508, C509 etc) identify the Breast cancer subtree unambiguously, and so we used this. I believe that the SEER summary is in fact derived from the topography codes, which are the primary data entered by the registry folks, and more finely granular - e.g., breast cancer has subtypes like paget's disease, etc. - but the use of English as opposed to numbers in the SEER field makes the output more human-comprehensible without having to use an ICD-O3 code book. To anyone who has implemented I2B2, however - I2B2 allows search by keyphrases corresponding to the codes - the SEER field is redundant, and does not add information over and above what the ICDO3 topography code provides.

We're not seeing any breast cancer diagnosis data (`\i2b2\naaccr\SEER Site\Breast\`) in what you submitted 02/11/2015 3:26pm.
