ICD-O-3 is published by: WHO In the numerical lists for ICD-O topographic and morphologic terms, the preferred term is always bolded, synonyms are indented under it, and equivalent terms are non-indented under those. True Morphology coding was added to ICD because knowing only the primary site of a tumor was not sufficient for planning treatment or conducting meaningful research true The morphology numerical list in IVD-O-3 manual lists the primary site codes in numerical from C00.0 to C80.9 False, morphologic codes start with an M Based on the coding rule for tumors involving more than one topographic category or subcategory, the correct subcategory code to use when a tumor overlaps the boundaries of two or more categories/subcategories is: 0.8 Leukemias are coded to blood, C42.0 false, coded to bone marrow The ICD-O-3 manual contains 3 major sections contained in it, one for topography, one for morphology, and one for rules of coding. false, it has 5 major sections: introduction and background, coding guidelines, topography numerical list, morphology numerical list, alphabetical index. The complete ICD-O-3 code for a neoplasm contains how many characters in how many major sections 10 in 2 sections There are site-associated morphology terms where the site is provided in parenthesis after the morphology term. These are provided when the morphology is known to occur most often in that primary site only. Therefore, if the site is not known, the registrar can confidently use that primary site, even though not stated. True When coding the 5th digit behavior code, always give the highest priority to the code listed for that diagnosis in the manual listing, even if the pathologist states differently. false The "most representative tumor specimen" is always contained on the pathology report of the surgical resection or re-excision (after an initial excisional biopsy) false. Most times, the "most representative tumor specimen" is included in these reports. However, sometimes the initial excisional biopsy contains the entire tumor and at re-excision there may be no evidence of cancer seen. So it can be sometimes be included in that initial excisional biopsy. The Heme MP/H rules provide instructions for determining reportability, for coding the primary site, and for coding the phenotype or cell type of the neoplasm, and are supplemented by a database that provides additional information about the specific diseases covered by these rules. true The histology coding rules instructions state to use which source/section on the pathology report to code histology? the final diagnosis The solid tumor histology rules contain detailed instructions on how to code the cell type on the abstract. true The solid tumor MP/H rules were implemented in 2018 to replace the MP/H rules implemented in what year? 2007 The solid tumor rules do not apply to lymphomas and leukemias. true There are no new changes (terms or codes) added to ICD-O-3 existing codes and terms for 2018 cases forward. false, over 100 new terms... When using the solid tumor rules for MP/H coding, once you find the first rule that applies to your case, you stop. true Ambiguous terminology taken from sources like SEER and CoC can be used to determine histological coding false, only to determine reportability. Coding grade for 2018 has become site-specific with Schema ID to point to the correct tables for coding grade. true
