A new release of the CSv2 software (version 02.03.00) is planned for October 2010. This release will include updates resulting from the schema proofing and validation project currently underway. This release will also include updates scheduled for implementation in January 2011. Details on the specific updates included in this release will be documented and posted when the software is released.

SEER Abstract Addendum Generator for 2010 Cases Abstracted under Collaborative Stage version 1 (CSv1) released May 14, 2010 - While the ideal situation is that all 2010+ cases are abstracted into Collaborative Staging version 2 (CSv2) software, some facilities/registries may need to abstract 2010+ cases before their abstracting software can be updated to CSv2. This tool lists the Collaborative Staging (CS) fields and space to abstract the information needed for CSv2. You must have Word 2003 or later on your computer to run this tool. See http://www.seer.cancer.gov/tools/absgenerator/ for more information.
