Abstractor Notes

(This neoplasm is reportable for cases diagnosed 2010 and later.)

For cases prior to 2010, Chronic myeloproliferative disease, NOS (9960/3) was used for the generic description.

For cases diagnosed 2010+, code 9975/3 is used for MPN, NOS as well as a new NOS for myeloproliferative neoplasm, unclassifiable and myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative syndrome unclassifiable (MPN, U) that became effective for cases diagnosed 1/1/2010.

In patients with MPNs that are initially unclassifiable, follow-up studies performed at intervals of 6-12 months can often provide sufficient information for a more precise classification. If a more specific MPN is diagnosed, change the ICD-O-3 histology code to the more specific MPN. Do not abstract a new primary.

Aspirin was previously documented as treatment for MPN, NOS. This was found to be incorrect. Treatment has been updated based on the NCI website. Aspirin is given to patients with MPN, NOS to reduce risk of blood clots. The aspirin is not used to manage the cancer. Treatment has been updated based on the NCI website (updated 6/12/15).

Diagnostic Confirmation

This histology can be determined by positive histology (including peripheral blood) with or without genetics and/or immunophenotyping. Review the Definitive Diagnostic Methods, Immunophenotyping and Genetics Data sections below, and the instructions in the Hematopoietic Manual for further guidance on assigning Diagnostic confirmation.

Definition

The designation of myeloproliferative neoplasm, unclassifiable (MPN-U) should be applied only to cases that have definite clinical, laboratory, molecular, and morphological features of a myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) but fail to meet the diagnostic criteria for any of the specific MPN entities, or that present with features that overlap between two or more of the MPN categories.

In early unclassifiable disease, organomegaly may be minimal or absent, but splenomegaly and hepatomegaly can be massive in advanced cases in which bone marrow specimens are characterized by marked myelofibrosis and/or increased numbers of blasts.

There are three groups of early stage MPN, U:
1) Early stages of polycythemia vera, primary myelofibrosis, or essential thrombocythemia in which the characteristic features are not yet fully developed.

2) Advanced disease in which pronounced myelofibrosis, osteosclerosis, or transformation to a more aggressive stage masks the underlying disorder.

3) Evidence of an MPN where a coexisting neoplastic or inflammatory disorder obscures some of the diagnostic clinical and/or morphologic features.

Specific myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) include:
1. Chronic eosinophilic leukemia, NOS (9964/3)
2. Chronic myelogenous leukemia BCR-ABL1-positive (9875/3)
3. Chronic neutrophilic leukemia (9963/3)
4. Essential thrombocythemia (9962/3)
5. Polycythemia vera (9950/3)
6. Primary myelofibrosis (9961/3)

Specific myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms include (MDS/MPN):
1. Atypical chronic myeloid leukemia BCR-ABL1-negative (9876/3)
2. Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (9945/3)
3. Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (9946/3)
4. Myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm with ring sideroblasts and thrombocytosis (9982/3)

Epidemiology and Mortality

Incidence: ~10-15% of all cases of MPN
Survival: Depends on what stage diagnosed at. Early stage MPN will have the same survival as some of the more specified MPN's, while late stage has a poor prognosis
