The query terms were chosen by the breast cancer team two months ago; see 
#204<https://informatics.gpcnetwork.org/trac/Project/ticket/204>, (with related 
discussion in #167<https://informatics.gpcnetwork.org/trac/Project/ticket/167>, 
and #32<https://informatics.gpcnetwork.org/trac/Project/ticket/32>). I don't 
see any new information that would motivate them to reconsider. For example, 
see discussion of the SEER Site Summary last 
August<http://listserv.kumc.edu/pipermail/gpc-dev/2014q3/000399.html>.

To re-iterate: he SEER site recode is a function of not just the C50X primary 
site info but also histology. I suppose in theory it's possible to encode this 
in an i2b2 query, but that's not how the breast cancer team decided to do it.

Digging into the references I provided...

excerpt from 
seer_recode.sql<https://informatics.kumc.edu/work/browser/heron_load/seer_recode.sql>:

/* Breast */ when (site between 'C500' and 'C509')
  and  not (histology between '9050' and '9055'
   or histology = '9140'
   or histology between '9590' and '9992') then '26000'

excerpt from SEER Site Recode ICD-O-3 (1/27/2003) 
Definition<http://seer.cancer.gov/siterecode/icdo3_d01272003/>,:

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.

Comment (by dconnolly):

Prakash,

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

For reference:
