Variables

These are the datasets in the Cancer Public Library (암 공공 라이브러리). Select a dataset to see its variables. Open a variable to see the definition and the meaning of each code.

English names and code meanings are translations for this site. The Korean dictionary note on each variable page is the text of data dictionary version 4.0 (September 2026).

Each list begins with SN_KEY (대체식별키), the person identifier. The four claims tables also join to each other on MID (명세서조인키).

Who is included in the library is on the library page. A site sample (표본) and a staging sample (표본 병기) are separate databases, with their own variable lists.

Cancer registration, death, and eligibility

Claims

General health examination

Cancer screening

COVID-19

Site samples (표본)

Each of these is its own database, a fraction of one cancer site. The variable list is the portal catalog, not the customized-library dictionary. A staging sample is a separate database. The difference is on the sample page.

Staging samples (표본 병기)

병기 means stage. Each staging sample is a separate database from the site sample of the same cancer. The registration table carries that site's stage items.
