Analysis of the quality of coding for tumors in line with International Classification of Diseases
1Department of Medical Record, General Hospital of PLA, Beijing 100853, China.
Objective:
To find a method for improving the quality of coding for malignant tumors according to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) and explore the feasibility and necessity of such a method.
Methods:
The author collected 26,922 tumor cases and analyzed the matches of the codes for the position of tumors (C code) and the modality of tumors (M code). On the basis of searching result, mistakes in the coding were identified and the causes for these errors explored.
Results And Conclusion:
Altogether 5,329 mistakes occurred in relation to the arrangement of C code and M code for various and complicated reasons, accounting for 19.79% among the cohort of cases investigated. The present methodology for the coding needs to be improved and better alternatives are possible on the basis of current technology.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
