If a patient had another tumor that was recorded in the hospital's registry, enter the accession number assigned at that time. If this is the first report by the hospital for the patient, use the nine-digit accession number generated by CNExT. Or the hospital may assign its own accession number in place of CNExT's. The first four digits represent the year first seen for the patient (see Section II.2.1). The last five digits represent the approximate chronological order of the abstracts prepared for that year.
Examples
If the patient was admitted or the tumor was diagnosed on February 11, 2005, the first four digits are 2005. If the abstract for the reported tumor was the 285th prepared for 2005, the accession number is 200500285.
Two abstracts are being prepared for a patient with one primary tumor diagnosed in 2004 and another in 2006. The first four digits of the accession number are 2004, and the next five represent the abstract's place in the chronological order of cases reported for 2004. The same accession number must be used for the second and subsequent abstracts. (However, the year first seen for the first tumor is 2004, and for the second it is 2006.)
