| description | Cancer Registry spatial data for a tumor record represents the point location of the individual's residence on the Earth's surface. The point location is expressed as a coordinate pair of latitude and longitude values determined by any one of several methods: for example, geocoding, address matching, GPS readings, and interpolation from paper or electronic maps. Most of the time this information is provided by a geocoding vendor service. Alternatively, a central registry staff manually assigns the code. This item is not coded by the hospital. Decimal degree coordinate data can be thought of as the universal "currency" of exchange for spatial data to be used (projected or not projected) in GIS. Data in this format can be used by any GIS software and projected for the appropriate area of interest, and would be consistent with formats of data obtained from other sources. Users may not necessarily need to project their data unless they need to preserve properties of area, shape, distance, or direction. Different projections provide one or more of these properties. Some projections are used simply for presentation purposes because they make the map "look" better. Displaying a large area such as a state or province/territory using an unprojected rectangular latitude/longitude decimal degree grid may make the area appear distorted, especially in far northern latitudes. Allowable values and format Projection and Units -- Spatial data are exchanged in "unprojected" latitude and longitude coordinates. The data units are in decimal degrees (and not in degrees, minutes, seconds). Correct: Latitude: 41.890949 Longitude: -123.128943 Not this: Latitude: 41 deg 53' 27" Longitude: -71 deg 7' 44" The longitude field is an 11-byte numeric field, right justified. This coordinate may be carried out to 6 decimal places with an explicit decimal point. It has the following format: x123.456789, where "x" is reserved for a negative sign if the coordinate represents a location west of 0 degrees (Prime Meridian) and east of 180 degrees. ..

| scale | Qn = Quantitative: The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256 | ||||
