    Description

      The AJCC VALUES (T1, N0, etc) will be in SNOMED CT beginning July 31, 2022.

      The description of what these values mean will not be in SNOMED CT. They continue to be proprietary, and require licensing from AJCC.

      The SNOMED codes can be adopted in place of the current approach to representing TNM staging values (e.g., * valueCodeableConcept = http://cancerstaging.org#cT3).
