Table 3.

Comparison with the SEER conversion program according to the tumor type (hematopoietic and solid tumors) and the number of branches of the diagnosis lattice that are identified for an ICD-10 code / ICD-O-3 combination

All Hematopoietic tumors Solid tumors
N=42260 (%) N=14213 (%) N=28047 (%)
Related in the model* 42260 (100.0) 14213 (100.0) 28047 (100.0)
More than 1 branch a 15234 (36.1) 9910 (69.7) 5324 (18.9)
Mappings rebuilt from the model** 17766 (42.0) 739 (5.2) 17027 (60.7)
Non unique mappings b 4886 (27.5) 333 (45.1) 4553 (26.7)

*Related in the model means that there is at least a common diagnosis inside the model that is instantiated by both the ICD-10 code and the ICD-O-3 combination

**Mappings rebuilt from the model corresponds to the mappings that we were able to rebuild automatically from the model

aMore than 1 branch means that there is more than one branch of the diagnosis lattice that was instantiated by both the ICD-10 code and the ICD-O-3 combination

bNon unique mappings means that the topography-morphology combination was also mapped to another ICD-10 code (inconsistent with the SEER file)
