Subject: LATERALITY (PAIRED ORGAN)

Category: 
  - Other

Description: 
============

 This patch addresses NOIS WAS-0297-21851.
    
 ABS...AI or EE...CANCER IDENTIFICATION
 
 When abstracting a primary with an ICDO-TOPOGRAPHY (165.5,20) value of:
    
 LUNG, MIDDLE LOBE
 MAJOR SALIVARY GLAND or
 CAROTID BODY
 
 the LATERALITY field (165.5,28) was being incorrectly stuffed with "0"
 (Not a paired organ).
    
 The reason for this error was that these three IDCO-TOPOGRAPHY records were
 missing a "1" (LATERALITY CODE REQUIRED) in the PAIRED ORGAN (164,.07) field.
 This patch will insert a "1" in this field for these three ICDO-TOPGRAPHY
 records.
