The International Academy of Pathology (IAP) is invited to review the following draft 1st edition International Collaboration on Cancer Reporting (ICCR) datasets:
- Carcinoma of the appendix
- Carcinoma of the gallbladder
- Liver metastasis resection
- Squamous cell carcinoma of the anus – local excision specimen
- Squamous cell carcinoma of the anus – abdominoperineal excision specimen
The ICCR has been formed to develop common, internationally standardised and evidence-based cancer datasets for surgical pathology specimens. Using the best international approaches, and leveraging the knowledge and experience of world-leading pathologists, the ICCR aims to ensure that all cancer reports, will be of the same high quality; ensuring completeness, consistency, clarity, conciseness and above all, clinical utility. The ICCR has 62 published datasets to date, with a total of 118 dataset editions published including updates which are available at: http://www.iccr-cancer.org/datasets.
The draft datasets are available for comment until Friday 24th April 2026 at: https://www.iccr-cancer.org/datasets/datasets-under-consultation/. To provide feedback please email any comments together with your name and country to datasets@iccr-cancer.org.
The ICCR Carcinoma of the appendix dataset has been kindly sponsored by the Appendix Cancer PMP Research Foundation (ACPMP)
The ICCR Liver metastasis resection dataset has been kindly sponsored by the Liver Metastasis Research Network.
