This template contains additional coding info for cancers so it can be applied consistently everywhere it is used.

To use:

{{ICD10 Guideline Cancer}}

Using ICD10 Malignancy Codes as a Comorbid Diagnosis

  • Any cancer/malignancy (either a "solid tumor" or a leukemia/lymphoma/bone marrow malignancy/"liquid tumor", i.e. any ICD10 code from C00-C99) can be a comorbid diagnosis --- BUT it's vital to distinguish malignancies in this category based on whether they are believed to be cured or not.
  • If it's still present (or believed to be present), then just include the code for the specific cancer as a comorbid diagnosis.
  • If INSTEAD, it's presumed cured, then in the "bin" of comorbid diagnoses combine the code for the specific cancer with this code: Past history, cancer (any type), believed cured


You asked for this template. Once it is populated I will do find-replace on all pages in Category:Neoplastic to add it. Can you confirm also that it is indeed applicable for all codes in that category?
