Description
I am trying to get staging information for lung cancer patients from the data, but I'm not sure if that's possible. This source suggests that using ICD codes is not a very accurate option. While there are HCPS codes in the d_hcps table that correspond with lung cancer stages, they don't ever seem to be used in the hcpsevents table. Is there another way I could obtain data on the stage of lung cancer?

Research direction
Start with the MIMIC online documentation and the linked lung-cancer staging source. Review the d_hcps and hcpsevents tables mentioned in the issue to determine whether staging data is available through another source or coding approach. Done means documenting a supported way to obtain lung cancer stage data, or clearly stating that it is unavailable.
