Revised medical criteria for evaluating malignant neoplastic diseases. Final rules.
We are revising the criteria in the Listing of Impairments (the listings) that we use to evaluate claims involving malignant neoplastic diseases. We apply these criteria when you claim benefits based on disability under title II and title XVI of the Social Security Act (the Act). The revisions reflect advances in medical knowledge, treatment, and methods of evaluating malignant neoplastic diseases.
