Description:

Mitotic Count Uveal Melanoma, the number of mitoses per 40 high-power fields (HPF) based on pathological evaluation, is a prognostic factor for uveal melanoma.

Rationale:

Mitotic Count Uveal Melanoma is listed as a Registry Data Collection Variable in AJCC. It was previously collected as Uveal Melanoma, CS SSF# 9.

Item Data Type:

text

Allowable Values

0.0, 0.1-99.9, XX.1, XX.2, XX.3, XX.4, XX.7, XX.8, XX.9

Codes:

0.0

0 mitoses per 40 high-power fields (HPF)
Mitoses absent, no mitoses present, no mitotic activity

0.1-99.9

0.1-99.9 mitosis per 40 HPF

XX.1

100 or more mitoses per 40 HPF

XX.2

Stated as low mitotic count or rate with no specific number

XX.3

Stated as high mitotic count or rate with no specific number

XX.4

Mitotic count described with denominator other than 40 HPF

XX.7

Test ordered, results not in chart

XX.8

Not applicable: Information not collected for this case
(If this information is required by your standard setter, use of code XX.8 may result in an edit error.)

XX.9

Not documented in medical record
Mitotic Count Uveal Melanoma not assessed or unknown if assessed
