Immunotherapy/Other
Therapy--Heme & Lymphoid Neoplasms: Is the elimination of immunosuppression
treatment coded as other treatment? An example is when a post-transplant
patient develops a malignant myeloproliferative neoplasm that subsides when
immunosuppression drugs are stopped.
Sequence Number--Central/Reportability--Heme &
Lymphoid Neoplasms: Is a hematolymphoid disease included in the sequencing if it
was not reportable at the time of diagnosis?
Diagnostic Confirmation--Heme & Lymphoid Neoplasms: How
is Diagnostic Confirmation coded for hematopoietic and lymphoid neoplasms (heme)
when immunophenotyping, genetics, etc. confirm the diagnosis.
Reportability/Behavior:
Our registry collects some borderline (behavior /1) cases that are not
reportable to SEER or any other standard setters. Can we assign a behavior code
of /2 to these cases?
Reportability/Histology--Heme
& Lymphoid Neoplasms: Is a diagnosis of myeloid stem cell disorder or
myeloid stem cell neoplasm reportable when the differential diagnosis includes
only reportable neoplasms? If so, how should histology be coded? See Discussion.
Solid Tumor Rules/Histology--Fallopian Tube: How is histology coded for a high-grade serous carcinoma with admixed yolk sac tumor of the right fallopian tube? See Discussion.
Reportability/Histology--Soft Tissue: Is superficial CD34 positive fibroblastic tumor reportable and if so what histology code should be used? See Discussion.
