Question:
EOD 2018/Primary tumor--Melanoma: The code and level translations in the Note 4 of Extent of Disease (EOD) Primary Tumor for Melanoma Skin seem incorrect. Please advise.
* Code 000: In situ
* Code 100: Level I (should be level II) (< 0.75 mm Breslow's Depth)
* Code 200: Level II (should be level III) (0.76 mm to 1.50 mm Breslow's Depth)
* Code 300: Level III (should be level IV) (> 1.50 mm Breslow's Depth)
Discussion:
Answer:
Please see the corrected levels below for the note. Note 4: If a Breslow's depth is given in the pathology report and there is no other indication of involvement, the following guidelines may be used (Note: If a physician documents a different Clark's Level than provided by these guidelines, go with the physician's Clark Level)
Code 000: Level I (In situ)
Code 100: Level II (< 0.75 mm Breslow's Depth)
Code 200: Level III (0.76 mm to 1.50 mm Breslow's Depth)
Code 300: Level IV (> 1.50 mm Breslow's Depth)
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
