The International Collaboration on Cancer Reporting (ICCR) is a not-for-profit organization formed by the Royal Colleges of Pathologists of Australasia and the United Kingdom, the College of American Pathologists, the Canadian Association of Pathologists-Association Canadienne des Pathologists in association with the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer, and the European Society of Pathology. Its goal is to produce standardized, internationally agreed, evidence-based datasets for use throughout the world.
This article describes the development of a cancer dataset by the multidisciplinary ICCR expert panel for the reporting of thymic epithelial tumours. The dataset includes 'required' (mandatory) and 'recommended' (non-mandatory) elements, which are validated by a review of current evidence and supported by explanatory text. Seven required elements and 12 recommended elements were agreed by the international dataset authoring committee to represent the essential information for the reporting of thymic epithelial tumours.
The use of an internationally agreed, structured pathology dataset for reporting thymic tumours provides all of the necessary information for optimal patient management, facilitates consistent and accurate data collection, and provides valuable data for research and international benchmarking. The dataset also provides a valuable resource for those countries and institutions that are not in a position to develop their own datasets.
癌症报告国际协作组织（ICCR）是一个非营利性组织，由澳大拉西亚皇家病理学家学院、英国皇家病理学家学院、美国病理学家学会、加拿大病理学家协会 - 加拿大病理学家协会联合加拿大抗癌伙伴关系以及欧洲病理学会共同组建。其目标是生成标准化的、国际认可的、基于证据的数据集，供全球使用。
本文描述了ICCR多学科专家小组为胸腺瘤报告开发癌症数据集的过程。该数据集包括“必需”（强制性）和“推荐”（非强制性）元素，这些元素通过对当前证据的审查进行了验证，并辅以解释性文本。国际数据集编制委员会商定了七个必需元素和十二个推荐元素，以代表胸腺瘤报告的基本信息。
使用国际认可的结构化病理数据集报告胸腺肿瘤，可为患者的最佳管理提供所有必要信息，有助于进行一致且准确的数据收集，并为研究和国际基准测试提供有价值的数据。该数据集还为那些无法自行开发数据集的国家和机构提供了宝贵资源。
