kid_class

Determines the type of childhood cancer cases based on the histology
and site codes of the cancer. It uses the International Classification of Childhood
Cancer (ICCC) codes to determine the classification. The function returns a value
based on the method specified and the depth level of the classification hierarchy
to be determined.

Classifies the type of cancer using routinely collected data
commonly found in cancer registries from pathology reports. The
package implements the International Classification of Diseases for
Oncology, 3rd Edition site (topography), histology (morphology), and behaviour codes of neoplasms to classify cancer type
<https://www.who.int/standards/classifications/other-classifications/international-classification-of-diseases-for-oncology>.
Classification in children utilize the International Classification of Childhood Cancer by Steliarova-Foucher et al. (2005) <doi:10.1002/cncr.20910>.
Adolescent and young adult cancer classification is based on Barr et al. (2020) <doi:10.1002/cncr.33041>.
