ICD-10 Clinic - Book 12: Neoplasms

The one chapter where the Alphabetic Index is a table rather than a list. Six columns run across the top, one for each kind of behaviour, and every body site has a row. This book teaches you to read that table properly, defines all six behaviours including the two that are constantly confused, and shows why you may never stop at the table. Part two is sequencing: how a cancer that has spread produces two codes, what decides which of them comes first, what happens when a patient attends solely for chemotherapy or radiotherapy, and when a current cancer code becomes a history code. It also sets out clearly which decisions in this chapter belong to the provider and never to the coder. Fifteen exercises with worked answers.

Twenty-five A4 pages, in full colour. Written in short sentences and plain English, for readers whose first language is not English and clearer for everyone else because of it.

Every ICD-10-CM code in this book was verified against the official 2026 code set before the file was made. Instant PDF download. By M.R. Sterling.
