The Subsequent Neoplasms (3500) form must be completed when a new malignancy is reported on the Post-TED (2450), Post-HCT Follow-Up (2100) or Cellular Therapy Essential Data Follow-Up Form (4100) form. Reported new malignancies should be different than the disease / disorder for which the infusion or cellular therapy was performed. Do not report relapse, progression, or transformation of the same disease subtype as a new malignancy.

New malignancies, lymphoproliferative disorders, and myeloproliferative disorders include but are not limited to:

  • Skin cancers (basal, squamous, melanoma)
  • New leukemia
  • New myelodysplasia
  • Solid tumors
  • PTLD (post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder) report as Non-Hodgkin lymphoma

The following should not be reported as new malignancy:

  • Recurrence of primary disease (report as relapse or disease progression)
  • Relapse of malignancy from recipient’s pre-cellular therapy medical history
  • Breast cancer found in other (i.e., opposite) breast (report as relapse)
  • Post-cellular therapy cytogenetic abnormalities associated with the pre-cellular therapy diagnosis (report as relapse)

A separate form 3500 must be submitted to report each new malignancy diagnosed since the date of last report. Reporting a new malignancy / disorder on a Post-TED (2450), Post-HCT Follow-Up (2100) or Cellular Therapy Essential Data Follow-Up Form (4100) form will make one Subsequent Neoplasm (3500) form come due. This form will also have the option to be created on-demand (on-demand is when a form can be generated at any time). If more than one new malignancy occurs during a reporting period, the Subsequent Neoplasm (3500) form can be made on demand. Contact the CIBMTR Customer Service Center with any questions.

The submission of a pathology report or other supportive documentation for each reported new malignancy is strongly recommended.
