You can search for diseases by name or code directly from the toolbar. For instructions for selecting diseases, for example, when you add or edit a study subject record, refer to Selecting Diseases for Study Subject Records.

How to Search for Diseases from the Toolbar

1. On the toolbar, click Disease Search.
   The Search Diseases window appears.
   
   

2. In the Disease Name field, type part or all of the disease/condition or site being studied, or, in the Disease Code field, enter part or all of the disease or site code.

   Enter as many letters of the disease/condition name as possible to reduce the number of search results. The system adds wildcards on both sides of the search string (the series of letters you type) for you implicitly. You can type wildcard symbols (%) between characters of the string as necessary.

   
   

3. From the Disease Code System drop-down list, select one of the following:

   • ICD-9 (International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision)

   • ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision)

   • ICD-O-3 (International Classification of Diseases for Oncology, 3rd Edition)

   • SDC (CTEP's Simplified Disease Classification)

4. Press Enter, or click Search.
   The system searches for the disease/condition or site in the database, and returns a list of results.
