Additional Info
- To indicate a (presumably) cured malignancy, use this code COMBINED with the code for the specific cancer.
- If in addition, the (presumably) cured malignancy included mets, then ALSO combine with the code for the site(s) of mets, e.g. Lymph nodes, metastatic malignancy to them (also code primary site)

this used to say: "Use this code, and only this code, to code a cancer believed cured. I.e. do not also code the kind of cancer it was, i.e. do not enter Combined ICD10 codes for the actual type of cancer the person had. The reason is that data analysis would not necessarily catch the fact that the cancer code is not an active one", but are we SURE we want this rule? Doesn't it make more sense to combine this code with the type of cancer to indicate an old and cured cancer? |
