Unit Review
Here is what we have learned from this unit:
- In the 1950s and 1960s, the principal system for classifying
diseases was the ICD series published by the World Health
Organization (WHO).
- ICD was used to code and tabulate the diagnoses on medical
records for storage and retrieval, and Chapter II of ICD
was always designated to neoplasms.
- Since the publication of ICD-6 in 1948, the classification
of neoplasms has been based primarily on topographic site
and behavior.
- The first code manual for the morphology of neoplasms
was published by the American Cancer Society (ACS) in 1951
as the Manual of Tumor Nomenclature And Coding (MOTNAC).
- The Systematized Nomenclature Of Pathology (SNOP), published
by the College of American Pathologists (CAP) in the 1960s,
provided a morphology code including two sections on neoplasms
and a completely new, highly detailed topography code to
cover every part of the human body.
- A new edition of MOTNAC appeared in 1968, and the morphology
section of MOTNAC had been based on the neoplasm section
of SNOP published by the CAP. MOTNAC was widely accepted
and translated into a number of languages.
- In 1976, WHO published the first edition of the International
Classification of Diseases for Oncology, which had a topography
section based on the malignant neoplasm rubrics of ICD-9
and a morphology section that was a one-digit expansion
of the MOTNAC morphology.
- The CAP adopted the morphology of ICD-O for their revised
edition of SNOP which was called Systematized Nomenclature
of Medicine (SNOMED).
- The Second Edition of the International Classification
of Diseases for Oncology was published by WHO in 1990 for
use in cancer registries and in pathology and other departments
specializing in cancer.
- The Third Edition of ICD-O was published in 2000 and is
intended to be used for cancer cases diagnosed on January
1, 2001 and forward.
Quiz
It's time to see how much you have learned from this unit.
A true-false type of quiz has been created to give you an
opportunity to reinforce what you have learned.
Since the quiz is created as an incentive for learning, rather
than an objective evaluation of learning results, the score
of the quiz will not be recorded. Instead, feedback to your
answer is provided instantaneously. So, you may select another
choice if your first choice is not the correct one.
These quiz questions are grouped into several sets of two
questions each to reduce the size of the content on each page.
