The Tumor/Lesion domains (TU, TR) represent data collected in clinical trials where sites of disease (e.g., tumors/lesions/locations of interest, lymph nodes, organs of interest in the assessment of the disease) are identified and then repeatedly measured/assessed at subsequent time points and often used in an evaluation of disease response(s).

The below example shows the identification of calcification in the mitral valve annulus as well as mitral valve stenosis. It also shows mitral valve regurgitation. Technically, regurgitation is not considered as a lesion, however it is the direct result of the lesion (mitral valve stenosis/narrowing and structural change, caused by the annular calcification). Should this be mapped to TU as well? I suppose you could consider this as a site of disease, specifically locations of interest where you identify then repeatedly assess?
Agreed modeling approach allows us to represent the variety of lesions and abnormal findings associated with said lesions into TUORRES. It also allows us to represent other abnormal findings associated with that lesion.
Rows 1-3:
Examination of the heart indicates calcified mitral valve annulus and mitral valve stenosis.
Rows 4-5:
Examination of the heart indicates regurgitation at the mitral valve, blood is regurgitating from the left ventricle into the left atrium.

Dataset Debug Messages
There is a leading, trailing, or non-breaking space in the dataset.
The following example shows how to model severity assessments of the identified lesions and abnormalities based on peer-reviewed, validated and published instruments (either copyrighted or public domain). Note these tests were originally created as a CVTESTs, if users are using SDTMIG versions prior to 3.4. Per SDTMIG 3.4, this is now considered as a grading scale and therefore should now be represented as CC/RS.
Row 1:
Mitral valve stenosis is moderate.
Row 2:
Mitral valve regurgitation is severe.

Dataset Debug Messages
There seem to be multiple domains (RS(CC)) present in the dataset.
The below example shows how to represent calcification severity from a sponsor defined criteria using the TR domain. The Mitral Valve Annulus identified in TU is severely calcified.
