  1. The Palpable Masses (PM) domain captures information regarding any palpable masses examined during the experimental phase in the study.
  2. Results definition:
    1. PMORRES should reflect the original result as collected. The data should be reported the way it was collected. Example: A lab may choose to collect all their information on a mass in one long text string, in which case the PMTEST should be "Description" and PMORRES would contain the text string. Another lab may collect the data separately, in which case PMTEST would contain the specific measurement done on the mass. In either case, PMTEST always reflects the granularity of how the data were collected.
    2. PMSTRESC should contain the finding without the location specified in PMLOC.
  3. The PMSPID variable is intended to reflect mass identification. This variable should be used to link in-life findings with pathology findings. The mass identifier in --SPID should be consistent across domains (Clinical Observations, PM, Macroscopic Findings, Microscopic Findings, and Tumor Findings).
  4. PMDTC is expected and the dataset should contain either PMDTC or PMDY to identify the timing of the collection of the observation.
