Question:

Reportability--Heme & Lymphoid Neoplasms: Is polycythemia vera secondary to volume depletion reportable?

Discussion:

Answer:

For cases diagnosed 2010 and forward, access the Hematopoietic Database at http://seer.cancer.gov/seertools/hemelymph.

Secondary polycythemia vera is not reportable. See Appendix F.

Primary polycythemia vera is a condition in which there is an overproduction of blood cells due to a neoplastic process. Secondary polycythemia vera is an over production of red blood cells caused by a co-morbidity, in this case, volume depletion.
