Support year-based surgery codes #48

Closed depryf closed 5 years ago

depryf commented 5 years ago

The current surgery code modules takes it's data from the SEER website but only support "the latest data".

We need to add support for multiple SEER manuals (so we keep historic data) and the methods that request the data need to take a year parameter (I guess the current year can be assume if not provided).

The full data currently takes about 150KB of memory; I think we need to add about 8 versions of that data in this pass (to support the different versions of the SEER manual). That's still below 1MB of memory. It would be nice to optimize that number, but at the end, it's not huge and shouldn't cause any issues in software using the data. Also, the data will only be loaded per year if needed, so it's unlikely the old years would be loaded.

This issue was never closed, but it was released a long time ago. Closing now...
