ICD-10 Clinic Advanced - Book 10: The Oncology Record

The six-column Neoplasm Table and how to read it, primary against secondary and why the difference is everything, the encounter rule that decides whether the cancer or the treatment leads, complications of treatment, the codes for a cancer that has been removed, anaemia and the other conditions that arrive with cancer, and the status codes that explain an oncology record.

The ten chapters:

1. The six-column Neoplasm Table

2. Primary, secondary and in situ

3. Uncertain behaviour and unspecified behaviour

4. The encounter rule

5. Admitted because of a complication

6. Anaemia, low counts and the drugs that caused them

7. Cancer that has been removed

8. Unknown primary, unknown secondary

9. Blood cancers and remission

10. Status codes on an oncology record

Twenty-five A4 pages in full colour. Every chapter closes with its rule stated in a single line, so you can revise the whole book from the rules alone. Then a two-page Coding Lab working full records step by step, a page of the eight pitfalls that cost the most marks, fifteen practice questions with a worked answer for every one, and a glossary.

Written in short sentences and plain English, for readers whose first language is not English and clearer for everyone else because of it.
