Summary
The International Classification of Diseases, adaptation to Oncology (CIM-O) is a new World Health Organization tool for cancer specialists. It standardizes tumor location and histopathology recording for international use starting January 1, 1979.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Medical Informatics
- Cancer Research
Context:
- The World Health Organization (WHO) developed the International Classification of Diseases, adaptation to Oncology (CIM-O).
- The CIM-O is based on the 9th revision of the International Classification of Diseases.
- This classification system aims to standardize cancer data globally.
Purpose:
- To introduce and analyze the CIM-O as a novel international work tool for carcinology specialists.
- To highlight the dual coding system: topographical (tumor location) and morphological (tumor histopathology).
- To inform about the publication status of the English edition and the upcoming French version.
Summary:
- The CIM-O provides a standardized method for recording tumor topographical and morphological data.
- It integrates histopathology and location information for comprehensive cancer data management.
- This tool facilitates consistent data collection and analysis among international cancer researchers and clinicians.
Impact:
- Enhances international collaboration in cancer research through standardized data recording.
- Improves the accuracy and comparability of cancer statistics worldwide.
- Supports anatomopathologists and other carcinology specialists with a unified classification system.
