Coding Guidelines

**1)** Record only the results of an Oncotype Dx Risk Level-DCIS in this data item. If some other test is used for scoring, assign code 9. * Code 6 if the case is malignant * Code 9 for LCIS tumors **2)** The Oncotype Dx Risk Level-DCIS test stratifies scores into low, intermediate, and high risk of distant recurrence * If only the score is stated, assign the risk level based on the score.
