Errata
Version 2.0 (April 2005)
Thanks to the Austrian and South Thames
cancer registries, the new version of the IARCcrgTools (Version 2.01,
July 2005) package corrects the following mistakes found in the IARC-CHECK
program:
-
The ICD-O-3 code 8261/0 is considered as an unlikely combination of
histology and behaviour codes. This is corrected in version 2.01.
-
The histological codes 9061 and 9080 are considered as unlikely with age
greater than 14 in version 2.0. They are now accepted with age greater than 14
in version 2.01.
-
The histological code 9100 is considered as unlikely with age greater than 14
and less than 45 in version 2.0. It is now accepted with age greater than 14
and lower than 45 in version 2.01.
-
Mistakes found and corrected in the help section of the IARC-CHECK program:
-
Site/Histology control: The description of family 8 "liver tumours" corresponds
to that of family 2 "Stomach tumours".
-
Grade/Histology control: Code 9706 (lines 4 and 6) is not in ICD-O-3.
|
|
Version 2.01 (July 2005)
In addition to those indicated
above, the new version of the IARCcrgTools (Version 2.02, November
2005) package corrects the following mistakes:
-
IARC-CHECK program: the histological family number indicated in the warning
file by the histology/site control routine did not correspond to that
indicated in the on-line help. This is corrected in version 2.02.
-
IARCcrgTools: The File/Transfer facility has been improved. Depending
on the input file format, a variable could have been truncated.
This is corrected in version 2.02.
Improvements (version 2.02)
-
The IARC-CHECK and the IARC Multiple Primary Check programs display a
log file of summary statistics.
-
The IARCcrgTools on-line help includes a full ICD-O-3 index.
