FY2027 Tabular instructions

Instructions below include applicable chapter, section and parent-code notes. Each note identifies where it appears in the official source.

Instructional note

Functional activity

Source: C00-D49 (chapter, inherited).

Instructional note

All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm.

Source: C00-D49 (chapter, inherited).

Instructional note

Morphology [Histology]

Source: C00-D49 (chapter, inherited).

Instructional note

Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, etc. The Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code. In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes.

Source: C00-D49 (chapter, inherited).

Instructional note

Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries

Source: C00-D49 (chapter, inherited).

Instructional note

A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere. For multiple neoplasms of the same site that are not contiguous, such as tumors in different quadrants of the same breast, codes for each site should be assigned.
