0.1 Canadian Cancer Registry Overview

The patient–oriented Canadian Cancer Registry (CCR) evolved from the event–oriented National Cancer Incidence Reporting System (NCIRS). Beginning with cases diagnosed in 1992, incidence figures collected by Provincial and Territorial Cancer Registries (PTCRs) have been reported to the CCR, which is maintained by Statistics Canada. Established as a person–oriented database, the CCR includes mechanisms for updating and clearing death records and is linked to provincial and territorial databases to help track patients across Canada who have been diagnosed with tumours.

0.2 CCR System Guide: Document Organization

The CCR System Guide has been separated into three parts to improve access and navigation. Although the three parts are separate, the three documents should be used in conjunction with each other. The different sections of the three–part CCR System Guide often refer to each other. The CCR System Guide is now composed of:

Part I: CCR Data Dictionary provides explanation on the reporting of data, including the scope and detailed information on the input and derived variables.

Part II: CCR Data Loading and Tabulation Master Files provides information on the data loading process, including in–depth descriptions of the various edits performed on the data. Part II also provides information on the Tabulation Master Files, including the scope, content and layout. Part II is followed by several appendices that contain supporting information such as explicit code set tables, guidelines to assist coders and other supportive information.

Part III: CCR Core Reference Tables provides detailed information on the CCR Core Reference Tables such as descriptions of the tables, their usage and any revisions made. Part III is an accompanying document to the CCR Reference Tables 2009.xls.

0.3 Part III Document Organization: Core Reference Tables

Appendix A – Core reference Tables – Describes in detail all CCR Core Reference Tables. An Excel spreadsheet is also included with supporting documentation about the tables.

In order to implement this change, duplicate CD and CSD related to NWT and Nunavut have been deleted: SGC codes starting with 6104, 6105 and 6108 (excluding 6208095– Holman which becomes 6107095).
1999	Addition of codes: Due to Nunavut creation, new SGC codes have been added based on existing NWT SGC codes that fall within the geographic boundaries of the Nunavut Territories. SGC codes starting with 6204, 6205 and 6208 have been created based on their corresponding NWT SGC codes (SGC codes starting with 6104, 6105 and 6108 - excluding 6208095– Holman which becomes 6107095). Since corresponding SGC for NWT are still valid from 1996-1999, SGC codes starting with 6104, 6105 and 6108 have not been deleted.

CCR core scope

Description
This table contains the necessary information to assess whether a tumour is included within the CCR core scope or not. Since the scope of the CCR may change based on the date of diagnosis, a date range qualifies each topography, histology and behaviour combination. See Section 1.1.2.1 CCR core scope for more details.

Content

• Year of diagnosis (Lower and Upper bound): Specifies the time frame where the ICD-O-2/3 topography, ICD-O-3 histology and ICD-O-3 behaviour combination is valid.
• ICD-O-3 behaviour: Species the ICD-O-3 behaviour code accepted.
• ICD-O-2/3 topography (Lower and Upper bound): Specifies the range of ICD-O-2/3 topography codes accepted.
• ICD-O-3 histology (Lower and Upper bound): Specifies the range of ICD-O-3 histology codes accepted.

Usage

Tumour where the reported ICD-O-2/3 Topography, ICD-O-3 histology/behaviour and the year of date of diagnosis combination cannot be found within the corresponding ranges in the table is considered to be outside the CCR core scope.

Limitations

This table should not be used to validate ICD-O-2/3 topography nor the ICD-O-3 histology codes since corresponding ranges include invalid values.

Location

ICD-9 to ICD-O-2 conversion table

Description
This table has been created by Statistics Canada in cooperation with the Ontario cancer treatment and research foundation and the Fichier des Tumeurs du Québec. It has been designed to convert an ICD-9 Cancer code to ICD-O-2/3 topography and morphology and assess the coherence between:

• Reported ICD-9 Cancer code and ICD-O-2/3 topography values;
• Reported ICD-9 Cancer code and ICD-O-2 histology values;
• Reported ICD-9 Cancer code and ICD-O-2 behaviour values.

For both cases (conversion and coherence checking), strong limitations are applicable. See 'Limitations' below.

The ICD-9 to ICD-O-2 conversion is similar to the ICD-O-1 to ICD-O-2 conversion. The ICD-9 block of codes for primary malignant neoplasms is similar to the ICD-O-1 site codes and can be transformed into ICD-O-2 site codes. However, in this conversion, the ICD-9 non-malignant tumour codes are also converted. This conversion also provides a morphology code (which is more specific than the general "8000" code) for 104 of the 450 ICD-9 codes listed (Ex. ICD-9 code 200.0 converts to ICD-O-2/3 topography of C77.9 and ICD-O-2 Histology of 9593 and ICD-O-2 Behaviour of 3).

Content

This table contains converted ICD-O-2/3 topography, ICD-O-2 histology and behaviour for every CCR eligible ICD-9 cancer code.

This table contains the following fields:

• ICD9: CCR eligible ICD-9 cancer code.
• ICDO2/3T: Converted ICD-O-2/3 topography code.
• ICDO2H:Converted ICD-O-2 histology code.
• ICDO2B:Converted ICD-O-2 behaviour code.

Usage

• Conversion from ICD-9 Cancer code to ICD-O-2/3 topography: ICD-O-2/3 topography is set to corresponding ICDO2/3T where reported ICD-9 Cancer code matches ICD9.
• Edit between reported ICD-9 Cancer code and ICD-O-2/3 topography: reported ICD-O-2/3 topography must be equal to corresponding ICDO2/3T where reported ICD-9 Cancer code matches ICD9.
• Edit between reported ICD-9 Cancer code and ICD-O-2 histology: If reported ICD-O-2 histology code equals "8000" and corresponding ICD-O-2 histology (based on reported ICD-9 cancer code) does not equal to "8000", a warning indicating that "A more specific histology code could have been provided based on reported ICD-9 cancer code." must be sent. If reported ICD-O-2 histology does not equal "8000", nothing further can be done.
• Edit between reported ICD-9 Cancer code and ICD-O-2 behaviour: reported ICD-O-2 behaviour must be equal to corresponding ICD-O-2 behaviour where reported ICD-9 Cancer code matches ICD9.

Limitations

• Table usage: this table has been created specifically for processing CCR data. It is not intended for other applications.
• Converting non-malignant ICD-9 site codes: severe limitations exist in converting non-malignant ICD-9 site codes (225 and 230-239) to ICD-O-2 site codes due to broad site groupings which exist in ICD-9. Example: Single code 239.0, represents the entire digestive system. The comparable sites in ICD-O-2 are represented by 123 four-digit codes. For such cases, arbitrary equivalencies have been incorporated into the conversion. (This is the "Garbage In, Garbage Out" phenomenon - no detail is lost in the conversion process as there was no detail provided in the original code!)
• Converted ICD-O-2 histology: In general, histological information is not represented in ICD-9 codes and, therefore, cannot always be transformed into precise ICD-O-2 histology codes. In addition, for codes that identify the histology of the tumour as well as the site, the histology code obtained through conversion will not be as specific as if directly coded with the ICD-O-2. Example: ICD-9 code 172._ represents "Malignant melanomas of the skin". It is therefore possible to convert code 172._ to the ICD-O-2 topography code for skin, which is C44._, and the ICD-O-2 histology code for "Melanoma, not otherwise specified", which is 8720. It should be noted that the histology code obtained through conversion is not as specific as if directly coded with the ICD-O-2 where a range of histology codes, 8720 to 8790, is available for different varieties of melanomas. This conversion provides a histology code (which is more specific than the general "8000" code) for only 104 of the 450 ICD-9 codes listed.
• Extranodal lymphomas: It should be noted that all lymphomas, nodal and extranodal, are grouped together in the ICD-9 category of "Malignant neoplasms of lymphatic and haematopoietic tissue". It is not possible to identify extranodal lymphomas once they have been coded in ICD-9, therefore such information will not be available from converted data. This situation could result in differences in statistical tabulations. For example, lymphomas of stomach may be counted as lymphomas in ICD-9-based tabulations, as malignancies of stomach in ICD-O-2 site-based tabulations, or in the absence of explanatory notes to the contrary, they may be thought to be included with malignancies of stomach in converted ICD-O-2 site-based tabulations.

Revision
(ICD-9 to ICD-O-2 conversion table)

Year	Description
2004	Update: ICD-9 Cancer Code '232.8' is now associated to ICD-O-2/3 Topography code 'C44.8' instead of 'C44.9' (typo in old conversion table). Addition: ICD-9 Cancer Codes '2731', '2732', '2733', '2849', '2850' and '2898' have been added since the corresponding diseases are now considered to be related to neoplasm.

ICD-O-2 to ICD-O-3 conversion table

Description
This table is based on the "Conversion Of Neoplasms By Topography And Morphology From The International Classification Of Diseases For Oncology, Second Edition To International Classification Of Diseases For Oncology, Third Edition" (14/06/2001) produced by the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results Program (SEER) from National Cancer Institute (NCI). In some cases, SEER conversion has been modified to meet Canadian specific requirements. The exceptions are documented in the table.

Content

This table contains converted ICD-O-3 histology and ICD-O-3 behaviour for every unique CCR eligible ICD-O-2 histology and behaviour combination. It also contains duplicate ICD-O-2 histology/behaviour entries when conversion depends on ICD-O-2/3 topography.

For coherence checking between reported ICD-O-2 and ICD-O-3 values (when applicable), this table also contains alternative conversion options.

This table contains the following fields:

• ICDO2H: CCR eligible ICD-O-2 histology code.
• ICDO2B: CCR eligible ICD-O-2 behaviour code.
• ICDO2T (Lower and Upper bound): Range of ICD-O-2/3 topography codes for which the conversion is to be used.
• ICDO3H: Converted ICD-O-3 histology code.
• ICDO3B: Converted ICD-O-3 behaviour code.
• Review Flag: An indicator that indicated that the conversion must be hand reviewed. Possible values are:
  '0': No reviewed required.
  '1': Review required.
  '2': Review optional (for optimal coding).
• Conversion flag: When multiple conversions are possible, this indicator tells which entry must be used for conversion purpose. Possible values are:
  '0': Alternative conversion.
  '1': Primary conversion.
• CCR specific flag: An indicator that indicates that the conversion has been changed from SEER to meet Canadian specific requirements. Possible values are:
  '0': Compliant with SEER: ICD-O-3 histology/behaviour and review flag not changed.
  '1': Altered from SEER: ICD-O-3 histology/behaviour and/or review flag changed.

Usage

• Conversion: Converted ICD-O-3 histology/behaviour are found in the table where reported ICD-O-2 histology matches ICDO2H, reported ICD-O-2 behaviour matches ICDO2B, reported ICD-O-2/3 topography is between ICDO2T_LB and ICDO2T_UB inclusively and conversion flag = 1. If review flag = 1, then a warning requesting for manual review of the conversion must be sent to the reporting jurisdiction.
• Edit: Acceptable ICD-O-3 histology/behaviour values are found in the table where reported ICD-O-2 histology matches ICDO2H, reported ICD-O-2 behaviour matches ICDO2B, reported ICD-O-2/3 topography is between ICDO2T_LB and ICDO2T_UB inclusively. Other combinations are invalid. Conversion flag and review flag are ignored.

Limitations

• This table should only be used for conversion from ICD-O-2 to ICD-O-3 (not the other way around) and coherence edits between ICD-O-2 and ICD-O-3 values.
• This table must not be used to assess coherence among ICD-O-2 values nor ICD-O-3 values since it contains many possible histology and behaviour combinations from a subject-matter point of view.

Location

The table can be found in the document CCR reference tables 2009.xls under the tab conversion ICD-O-2 to ICD-O-3.

Revision
(Valid Site and Laterality combinations)

Year	Description
2007	Laterality codes have a new CCR meaning. See T19 in the Data dictionary for additional information. Laterality codes removed: Laterality codes have been removed from several sites (ICD-O-2/3: C129, C313, C318, C319, C398, C408, C409, C418, C444, C448, C449, C638, C688, C715, C716, C718, C719, C728, C739, C764, C765, C809). Laterality code '0' is the only eligible code for these sites. Laterality codes added: Laterality codes '1', '2', '3', '4', and '9' have been added to several sites (ICD-O-2/3: C300, C340, C413, C414, and C570). Note that several exclusions are indicated for these sites. These exclusions should be coded to '0'. Laterality code '3' has been added to several sites (ICD-O-2/3: C70.0, C71.0-C71.4, and C72.2-C72.5). Laterality codes changed: Laterality codes have changed in several sites (ICD-O-2/3: C07.9, C08.0, C08.1, C09.0, C09.1, C09.8, C09.9, C30.1, C31.0, C31.2, C34.1, C34.2*, C34.3, C34.8, C34.9, C38.4, C40.0, C40.1, C40.2, C40.3, C44.1, C44.2, C44.3, C44.5, C44.6, C44.7, C47.1, C47.2, C49.1, C49.2, C50.0, C50.1, C50.2, C50.3, C50.4, C50.5, C50.6, C50.8, C50.9, C56.9, C62.0, C62.1, C62.9, C63.0, C63.1, C64.9, C65.9, C66.9, C69.0, C69.1, C69.2, C69.3, C69.4, C69.5, C69.6, C69.8, C69.9, C71.0, C71.1, C71.2, C71.3, C71.4, C74.0, C74.1, C74.9). Most of the changes are due to the addition of code '3' and code '4'. Content added: A Notes column has been added to provide additional information on the corresponding site and laterality combination.
2004	Table structure: A time range has been added to support changes to valid site and laterality combination based on the Date of Diagnosis. (for example: ovary before and after 1999) Laterality codes removed: Laterality code '3' has been removed from the table since its an invalid CCRLaterality code. Laterality codes '1', '2' and '4' have been removed for Unknown primary site (ICD-O-2/3: C80.9) since the laterality cannot be known if the site is not known in the first place. Laterality code '4' has been removed for Overlapping lesion of urinary organs (ICD-O-2/3: C68.8) (Typographic error in the former table.). Laterality codes added: Laterality codes '1', '2', '4', and '9' have been added for five Central Nervous System sites (ICD-O-2/3: C70,0, C72.2-C72.5). Laterality codes '3' and '4' have also been added to other sites (ICD-O-2/3: C71.0-C71.4)

Equivalent topographies for overlapping and unspecified sites

Description
This table contains equivalent ICD-O-2/3 topography codes for overlapping and unspecified sites.

Content

• Highest topography: ICD-O-2/3 topography code of the tumour having the highest ICD-O-2/3 topography code numerically. (For example: C728 > C700)
• Lowest Topography (Lower and Upper bound): ICD-O-2/3 topography code range of the tumour having the lowest ICD-O-2/3 topography code numerically. (for example: C388 < C398)

Usage

• Two tumours are considered to have mutually equivalent topographies if the higher ICD-O-2/3 topography code (numerically) is found in the highest topography column and the lower ICD-O-2/3 topography code (numerically) is found within the corresponding lowest topography code range columns.
• If both ICD-O-2/3 topography codes are identical, tumours have indeed equivalent topographies and thus there is no need to use this table.
• If the higher ICD-O-2/3 topography code cannot be found in highest topography column, then the corresponding topography has no equivalent topography other than itself.

For the reporting of crime statistics and police personnel, official Statistics Canada census metropolitan area (CMA) populations have been adjusted to follow policing boundaries. Police service boundaries often do not correspond directly with CMA boundaries, particularly in the case of rural detachments. In an effort to match as closely as possible, the following guidelines are used:

• If more than half of a detachment's population falls within CMA boundaries, then all of that detachment's crime is included and the portion of its population falling outside the CMA is added to the official CMA population.

• Conversely, if less than half of a detachment's population falls within CMA boundaries, then all of that detachment's crime is excluded and the portion of its population falling within the CMA is subtracted from the official CMA population.

Notes

Changes in legislation and the resulting change in the offence classification creates discontinuity in the historical record of particular criminal offences. Legislative changes to assault, sexual assault, theft, arson, mischief, prostitution and youth crime must be considered when making comparisons over time. Some of the more significant changes are as follows:

Sexual Assault: Bill C-127 (1983):

Bill C-127 abolished the offences of rape, attempted rape and indecent assault and introduced a three-tiered structure for sexual assault offences. The Bill also eased the circumstances under which police could lay charges in incidents of sexual and non-sexual assault.

Young Offenders Act (1984):

With the proclamation of the YOA in April 1984, 12 years became the minimum age for which criminal charges could be laid. However, the maximum age continued to vary until April 1985, when the maximum age of 17 (up to the 18th birthday) was established in all provinces and territories. Youths, as defined in this publication, refer to those aged 12 to 17 (inclusive). This definition applies to the target group who fall under the delegation of the Young Offenders Act (YOA).

Traffic Offences: Bill C-18 (1985):

Bill C-18 (1985): In December 1985, Bill C18 made major legislative changes with respect to certain traffic offences (all 700 series offences). It imposed more stringent sentences for dangerous driving and drinking and driving. It also facilitated the enforcement of impaired driving laws by authorizing police to take blood and/or breath samples under certain circumstances. As a result, data previous to 1985 for traffic offences are not comparable and have not been presented.

Property value limits: Bill C-18 (1985) and Bill C-42 (1995):

Bill C-18 (1985) and Bill C-42 (1995): In 1985, Bill C-18 altered the property value limits from under and over $200 to under and over $1,000. This applies to offences such as theft, possession of stolen goods, mischief and fraud. As of February 1995, Bill C-42 revised the property value limits to under and over $5,000.

Alternative measures: Bill C-41 (1996):

Bill C-41 was proclaimed into law September 3, 1996. One of its highlights was the introduction of “alternative measures” for adults, which provided ways of dealing with disputes and minor offences outside the formal court proceedings.

Firearms: Bill C-68 (1997):

Bill C-68, proclaimed on January 1, 1997, requires that all firearm owners must obtain a Firearms License by January, 2001. This license replaces the Firearms Acquisition Certificate in use since 1977. Commencing October 1, 1998, each weapon must be registered within five years and a Registration Certificate will be issued. Bill C-68 also provides for tougher penalties for using a firearm while committing a crime.

Controlled Drugs and Substances Act: Bill C-8 (1997):

This new legislation came into force on May 14, 1997. The Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA) repealed and replaced the Narcotic Control Act (NCA) and parts of the Food and Drugs Act (FDA) in 1996. With this change in legislation, offences related to the possession, trafficking and importation of certain controlled or restricted drugs not identified in the earlier statutes are now (since 1997) included in other drugs category. Hence, comparisons with years prior to 1997 should be made with caution.

Dangerous Operation Evading Police:  Bill C-202 (2000):

Law C-202 came into effect March 30th, 2000.  This legislation modifies section 249 of the Criminal Code, thus creating new offences of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle when used for evading police.

Youth Criminal Justice Act: Bill C-7 (2003):

The extrajudicial measures encouraged by the Youth Criminal Justice Act, proclaimed on April 1, 2003, include taking no further action, informal police warnings, referrals to community programs, formal police cautions, Crown cautions, and extrajudicial sanctions programs. It is presumed that extrajudicial measures are adequate to hold accountable non-violent offenders who have not previously been found guilty in court.

Street Racing: Bill C-19 (2006):

Bill C-19, proclaimed on December 14, 2006, addresses the street-racing problem by making four amendments to the Criminal Code: “Street-racing” has been defined, five new street-racing offences have been added, for three of the new offences, it provides maximum prison terms longer than those currently provided for dangerous operation or criminal negligence in the operation of a motor vehicle, and it introduces mandatory driving prohibition orders for a minimum period of time, with the length of the prohibition increasing gradually for repeat offences.

Unauthorized Recording of a Movie: Bill C-59 (2007):

Bill C-59, proclaimed on June 22, 2007, addresses the illegal recording of movies in theatres by creating two offences in the criminal code: recording for personal use of a movie shown in a theatre – liable to imprisonment for not more than two years, and recording for commercial purposes of a movie shown in a theatre – liable to imprisonment for not more than five years.

Tackling Violent Crime: Bill C-2 (2008)

As a result of Bill C-2, which was proclaimed on February 28, 2008, the age of consent was raised from 14 to 16 for the following Criminal Code offences: sexual interference, invitation to sexual touching, sexual exploitation, bestiality and exposure to person under 14. For sexual assault levels 1 to 3, the age changes for complainant (formerly 14) to under the age of 16.

Impaired operation and failure to provide blood sample now includes the separation between alcohol and drugs (or combination of drugs). Fail/refuse to provide breath sample and failure to comply or refusal (drugs) will now have a maximum penalty of 25 years. 

New firearm offences will separate offences of breaking and entering by robbery to steal a firearm and to steal a firearm, which carry a maximum penalty of 25 years.

Tackling Violent Crime: Bill C-2 (2009)

As a result of Bill C-2, which was proclaimed on February 28, 2008, the UCR has also created a new code for sexual exploitation of a person with a disability. As well, two new Firearm violations have been added: Robbery to steal a firearm, and Break and Enter to steal a firearm.

Act to amend the Criminal Code (organized crime and protection of justice system participants) Bill C-14 (2009)

Bill C-14 officially came into effect on October 2, 2009. As a result, two new violation codes have been created: Assaulting with a weapon or causing bodily harm to a peace officer, and aggravated assault to a peace officer.

In 2002, legislative changes were made to include the use of the Internet for the purpose of committing child pornography offences. As such, the percent change in this offence is calculated from 2003 to 2009.

Codifying Identity Theft: Bill S4 (2010)

Bill S-4 officially came into effect on January 8, 2010. As a result, two new violation codes were created: Identity Theft and Identity Fraud.

Trafficking in Person’s under the age of 18: Bill C-268 (2010)

Bill C-268 officially came into effect on June 29, 2010. As a result, a new section was added to the Criminal Code; Section 279.011(1).  This section will be coded into the existing UCR code of Trafficking in Persons.

Comparing UCR Data with Courts and Corrections Data

It is difficult to make comparisons between data reported by police and data from other sectors of the criminal justice system (i.e., courts and corrections). There is no single unit of count (i.e., incidents, offences, charges, cases or persons) which is defined consistently across the major sectors of the justice system. As well, charges actually laid can be different from the most serious offence by which incidents are categorized. In addition, the number and type of charges laid by police may change at the pre-court stage or during the court process. Time lags between the various stages of the justice process also make comparisons difficult.

The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Survey was designed to measure the incidence of crime in Canadian society and its characteristics. Presented are the data elements that are captured by the survey, and the violation codes that are used in data collection.

Same-sex marriages

Following provincial court rulings in 2003, vital statistics registries in Ontario and British Columbia started registering marriages of same-sex couples. In 2004, subsequent rulings by courts in five provinces (Quebec, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan, and Newfoundland and Labrador) and one territory (Yukon) expanded the number of jurisdictions registering same-sex marriages. A court ruling in New Brunswick allowed same–sex marriages, a month before federal legislation legalized same–sex marriages across Canada, on July 20^th, 2005. Canada became the third country in the world, after the Netherlands and Belgium, to legalize same sex marriages across its territory.

Due to this legislative change, the information identifying the sex of each spouse was partially recorded in some provinces or territories and it is not available for Ontario (2003 to 2008) and Saskatchewan (2007 and 2008).

Response rates

Item response

For 2005 to 2008, the response rates varied from 99% to 100% for most of the demographic variables on the marriage database (age, previous marital status). The response rates for birthplace of the groom and bride varied from 84% (2008) to 97% (2005). The response rates for the sex variable varied from 55% (2008) to 58% (2005).
