Hematopoietic Project
Released May 4, 2012
New data collection rules for hematopoietic and lymphoid neoplasms go into effect for cases diagnosed beginning January 1, 2012. Two tools have been developed for use beginning in 2012:
- 2012 Hematopoietic Coding Manual (PDF)
- Reportability instructions and rules for determining the number of primaries, the primary site and histology, and the cell lineage or phenotype.
- The introduction to the manual has Steps in Priority Order for Using the Heme DB and Hematopoietic Coding Manual.
- Hematopoietic & Lymphoid Database
- A tool to assist in screening for reportable cases and determining reportability requirements.
- The database contains abstracting and coding information for all hematopoietic and lymphoid neoplasms (9590/3-9992/3).
- This database is available in two formats: a web-based tool and as stand-alone software (see download information below).
The Hematopoietic Database provided in a web-based format has several benefits over the software version:
- Updates are automatic: users do not have to install anything to access the latest revisions.
- Allows access from any computer or device with an Internet connection.
- Eliminates problems for users who do not have permission to install software on their work computers.
New educational presentations will be available in the future. Some of the previous presentations are still available.
Note: The 2010 manual and database available for download from the Historical Staging and Coding Manuals page.

Software Version of the Database
The web-based version of the Hematopoietic & Lymphoid Database is the preferred method to access the current data. If you need the software version because of limited Internet access, it is still available for now, but may be phased out in the future. Note that the coding information in the software version of the database can get out-of-date; be sure to check back to this site to install any updates.
