Generic Terms
Although these generic terms are not "good" diagnoses according to the pathologists, they are quite prevalent on cytology reports and death certificates, so we needed a place for them in ICD-O-3.
Stem cell leukemia had a code in ICD-O-1 and it has been returned to ICD-O-3.
NOS = Not Otherwise Specified
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| 8046/3 | Non-small cell carcinoma, NOS |
| 8935/3 | Stromal sarcoma, NOS |
| 9473/3 | PNET, NOS |
| 9591/3 | B-cell lymphoma, NOS |
| 9702/3 | T-cell lymphoma, NOS |
| 9801/3 | Stem cell leukemia |
| 9860/3 | Non-lymphocytic leukemia, NOS |
It is hoped (and suggested) that these codes will be used to mark cases for more in-depth analysis later to find a more precise diagnosis.
