Summary
Body structure concepts that specify male or female in descriptions and that are not unique to a specific gender (e.g. male/female breast) are to be considered for inactivation. The concepts modeled by these structures are also to be inactivated. It is proposed that the work for this update begins with the anatomy content for subtypes of 76752008|Breast structure (body structure)|.
Please see the attached briefing note for more information.
