administrativeNotes 6/15/25 Updated definition to removed reference to "cellular composition" in CDE and CRDC definitions. jk; 6/13/25 Versioned to 2.0 to swap in new DEC to clarify intent of CDE is to describe location from which specimen was taken, per leadership mtg/RR held 5/19/25. Also upd CRDC def and CDE def to clarify intent and change concept for Peritumoral to remove reference to morphologically normal tissue. mr; 6/2/25 Deleted TCIA alt name, def per TCIA SME/jk - normal does not equal benign. mr; 5/22/25 Added alt name, alt def, per June 2025 GDC DD. sl; 05/01/25: Added CIDC alt name per CIMAC_CIDC_Template_of_Clinical_Data_Elements V3.6 XLS. jlk 12/13/24 Added Tumor Adjacent Normal and Normal Adjacent Tumor alt names to Peritumoral per SN CADSR0004467 request from Amanda Bell/CDS. mr 10/29/24 per Henry/CodeMap task, add alt table LS; 10/14/24 removed Adv MRI CSI and alt name info, CDE 15017309 used. bf; 8/6/24 updated CDE def to sync with IDC/TDIA CDE 15017309. jk; 3/27/24 "Unknown" added as PV to support CDS data use case and concurrence at weekly DSS 3/27/24 meeting. jk; 3/17/24 added alt name, def, CSI. jk; 3/8/24 Added CDS, CCDI and NCCR alts/CSIs since these groups have agreed to reuse CDE 14688604 instead of GDC 5432687, which has been retired/superseded. mr; 2/6/24 Added CDS Alt name, def and CSI.
