Definitions for the CancerStage logical model.
Guidance on how to interpret the contents of this table can be foundhere
| 0. CancerStage | |
| Definition | CancerStage logical model from Cancer_Common_Logical_Model_20260123_2.xlsx (sheet CancerStage). |
| Short | CancerStage |
| Control | 0..* |
| Is Modifier | false |
| Logical Model | Instances of this logical model are not marked to be the target of a Reference |
| 2. CancerStage.cancerConditionAtDiagnosisReference | |
| Definition | CancerCondition AtDiagnosis Reference |
| Short | CancerCondition AtDiagnosis Reference |
| Control | 1..1 |
| Type | Reference(CancerCondition (AtDiagnosis)) |
| 4. CancerStage.classificationType | |
| Definition | It represents the classification system to define the stage, such as TNM (Tumor Linphonode Metastasis). nan |
| Short | ClassificationType |
| Control | 1..1 |
| Type | CodeableConcept |
| 6. CancerStage.value | |
| Definition | It represents the stage value. Its datatype and cardinality depend on the specific structure of the staging classification being used. For example, in the case of the TNM classification, three string values are expected: one for T (Tumor), one for N (Nodes), and one for M (Metastasis). nan |

| 8. CancerStage.type | |
| Definition | It indicates whether the stage instance is of type Clinical or Pathological. Choice: Clinical | Pathological |
