Malignant neoplasms
(C00-C97)

Coding-Hint
Use additional code ( U85) , if desired, to identify resistance, non-responsiveness and refractive properties of the neoplasm to antineoplastic drugs.

Malignant neoplasms, stated or presumed to be primary, of specified sites, except of lymphoid, haematopoietic and related tissue
(C00-C75)

Malignant neoplasms of digestive organs
(C15-C26)

C15 Malignant neoplasm of oesophagus
DCS.II.1 DCS.II.3 DCS.II.5 DCS.XIII.4

Note:

Two alternative subclassifications are given:

  • .0-.2 by anatomical description

  • .3-.5 by thirds

This departure from the principle that categories should be mutually exclusive is deliberate, since both forms of terminology are in use but the resulting anatomical divisions are not analogous.
