Action / Resolution

The Arkansas Cancer Registry Data provides a complete replacement file annually. The TNMPSB and TNMCSB fields were corrected beginning in 2019. These fields are formatted correctly in requests fulfilled from the 2019 APCD data forward.

If you have 2018 data and need these fields, contact the Arkansas APCD technical support for work around or replacement data options.
