New Abstractor’s Training Colon Cancer Marynell Jenkins, CCRP, CTR Regional Coordinator What we are covering today: Class of Case Anatomy Topography / Morphology Histology Grade Differentiation 2 Class of Case According to the 2015 Abstractor’s manual Class of case reflects the facility's role in managing this cancer, whether the cancer is required to be reported to ACoS by approved facilities, and whether the case was diagnosed after the program's reference date. Enter the two digit code that describes the patient's relationship to the facility. 3 Class of Case: 2 major classes • Analytic (must abstract) Classes 00-22 • Non-analytic (send to KCR) Classes 30-99* Not required to abstract non-analytic cases Hospitals are required to submit info to KCR for review * Non-analytic class 38 MUST be abstracted! Analytic: Class of case 10-14 Diagnosed at reporting facility or in staff physician office AND all or part of first course therapy performed at reporting facility Class 10 Initial diagnosis at the reporting facility or in a staff physician’s office AND part or all of first course of treatment was done at the reporting facility, or decision not to treat was done at the reporting facility Class 11 Initial diagnosis in staff physician’s office AND part of first course of treatment was done at the reporting facility Non-analytic: Class of case 30-37 Pt appears in person at reporting ______facility Class 30 Initial diagnosis and all first course treatment elsewhere AND reporting facility participated in diagnostic workup (Ex: consult only, staging workup after initial diagnosis elsewhere) Class 31 Initial diagnosis and all first course treatment elsewhere AND reporting facility provided in-transit care Non-analytic: Class of case 30-37 – Con’t Class 34 Type of case not required by CoC to be accessioned (Ex: A benign colon tumor) AND initial diagnosis AND part or all of first course treatment by reporting facility Class 35 Case diagnosed before program’s Reference Date AND initial diagnosis AND all or part of first course treatment by reporting facility Non-analytic: Class of case 38 Diagnosed on autopsy Class 38 Initial diagnosis established by autopsy at the reporting facility, cancer not suspected prior to death Required to be abstracted by your facility. Ex: Pt admitted with congestive heart failure, expires as inpatient, and autopsy shows thyroid carcinoma Non-analytic: Class of case 40-99 – Con’t Class 49 Death certificate only Class 99 Non-analytic case of unknown relationship to facility (not for use by CoC-accredited cancer programs for analytic cases) Class of Case: Examples Let’s look at some examples 10 Types of Colon Cancer Polyp Structures Pedunculated Flat Polyp “Behavior” – Non-invasive/ In-situ Invasive (including intramucosal) [*”Polypoid” is not a polyp, it is polyp-like.

Which report contains the earliest documentation of cancer, using the “right” terminology? Refer to diagnostic Ambiguous Terminology in Abstractor’s Manual for list of “Yes” or “No” terms. Date of 1st contact CANNOT precede Dx Dt! 25 Selecting a Site Code Determining colon cancer primary site…. Different physicians may document different sites! Operative Report takes top priority for colon…. 26 Determining Histology for Colon Review Colon Histology Rules in MP/H (Colon Chapter) Review Rectosigmoid/Rectum/Anus Histology Rules in MP/H (Other Sites Chapter) 27 Determining Topography 28 Let’s work this together! Patient undergoes colonoscopy with biopsy of a large polyp in the sigmoid colon. Resection reveals adenocarcinoma of sigmoid, arising in a tubulovillous adenoma. What is the histology code? 29 Grade/Differentiation, Grade Path Value, and Grade Path System Grade An expression of the tumor’s aggressiveness and an estimate of its prognosis. A system used to classify cancer cells in terms of how abnormal they look under a microscope and how quickly the tumor is likely to grow and spread. 31 Differentiation Describes how much or how little a tumor resembles the normal tissue from which it arose. A well-differentiated tumor looks more like the normal cells of that same tissue. An undifferentiated, or anaplastic, tumor bears virtually no resemblance to the normal tissue in which it started. 32 Differentiation Continued Differentiation correlates with grade: The less differentiated the tumor: the higher the grade and the more aggressive the tumor. The more differentiated the tumor: the lower the grade and the less aggressive the tumor. This sounds backwards, but remember less differentiated actually means it looks less like the cells from the original tissue. 33 Location in Coding The grade/differentiation of a tumor is coded in the 6th digit of the morphology code and is only one digit*. M-____/_X * In CPDMS.net the grade is separated from the histology so it is not seen the 6th digit format. 34 Grade/Differentiation Expression Grade/Differentiation is usually expressed in a 2, 3, or 4 code range in either numbers (1-4) or Roman numerals (I – IV).* Only colon, rectosigmoid junction, rectum, and heart use the 2 grade system. Peritoneum, endometrium, fallopian tubes, bladder, brain and spinal cord, prostate, kidney, DCIS Breast, and soft tissue sarcomas use a Three-Grade system. The remaining solid tumors utilize the Four-Grade system. * This applies to solid tumors only. 35 Two-Grade System Two-Grade systems apply to colon, rectosigmoid junction, rectum, and heart. Code these sites using a two-grade system; Low Grade (2) or High Grade (4). If the grade is listed as 1/2 or as Low Grade, then code 2. If the grade is listed as 2/2 or as High Grade, then code 4. 36 Three-Grade System Three-Grade systems apply to peritoneum, endometrium, fallopian tubes, bladder, brain and spinal cord, and soft tissue sarcomas. DCIS Breast, kidney, and prostate use site specific three grade systems. 37 Three-Grade System General For sites other than DCIS breast, kidney, and prostate code the tumor grade using the following priority order: (1) Terminology, (2) Histologic Grade, and (3) Nuclear Grade as shown in the following table. 38 Grade System for Breast For invasive breast cancers, code the tumor grade using the following priority order: (1) Bloom-Richardson (Nottingham) Scores, (2) Bloom-Richardson Grade, (3) Nuclear Grade (4) Terminology, and (5) Histologic Grade. Refer to the abstractor and FORDS manuals for appropriate schema. 39 Grade System for Breast (cont.) Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is not always graded. When DCIS is graded, it is generally divided into three grades: low grade, intermediate grade, and high grade. Refer to the abstractor and FORDS manuals for appropriate schema. 40 Tumor Grade for Prostate For prostate cancers, code the tumor grade using the table below following priority order: (1) Gleason Score (this is the sum of the patterns, for example, if the pattern is 2+4 the score is 6), (2) Terminology, (3) Histologic Grade, and (4) Nuclear Grade. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 7 8, 9, 10 41 Tumor Grade for kidney For kidney cancers, code the tumor grade using the following priority rules: (1) Fuhrman Grade, (2) Nuclear Grade, (3) Terminology (well differentiated, moderately differentiated), (4) Histologic Grade. These prioritization rules do not apply to Wilms tumor (M8960). 42 Four-Grade System Solid tumors not otherwise defined should be graded using the Four-Grade system. Code the tumor grade using the following priority order: Terminology Histologic Grade Nuclear Grade Refer to the abstractor manual for schema. 43 Coding Lymphomas and Leukemias Used to designate cell lineage Use when given in the diagnostic statement Refer to the abstractor manual for schema. 44 Coding CNS Tumors Refer to the abstractor manual for full instructions. Grade astrocytomas according to ICD-O-3. Do not automatically code glioblastoma multiforme as Grade IV. For primary tumors of the brain and spinal cord do not record the WHO grade. All benign and borderline intracranial tumors should be coded as grade 9. 45 Grade/Differentiation Comments Special Note: You cannot code a grade from a metastatic site. Code as a ‘9’. Often for in situ no tumor grade is provided, code as a ‘9’. More information on tumor grade/differentiation can be found in your FORDS and abstractor manuals. 46 Time for the Exercises 47 Example Exercise Given the following information, provide the Tumor Grade to code in CPDMS.net 03/22/2012 : BX Mass of transverse colon: path states: Invasive colonic adenocarcinoma with ulceration, high grade 4/2 48 Example Exercise What were your answers?
