Brain Molecular Markers

Notes

**Note 1:** This data item was introduced in 2018 and applied to the following ICD-O-3 histology codes 9400/3, 9401/3, 9440/3, 9450/3, 9451/3, 9471/3, 9478/3 * These are codes 01-09 and are applicable for cases diagnosed 2018+ and are in ICD-O-3 order **Note 2:** In 2022, the 5th edition of the CNS WHO Blue Book was released and the following histologies were added 9385/3, 9396/3, 9421/1, 9430/3, 9500/3 * These are codes 10-23 and are applicable for cases diagnosed 2024+ and are in ICD-O-3 order **Note 3:** If a microscopically confirmed histology is not included in this list, assign, code 85. * If your case is not microscopically confirmed, code 99 **Note 4:** Physician statement of histologic subtype can be used to code this data item. **Note 5:** See Brain Molecular Markers in the SSDI Manual, in the *Definition* section for more information on the different histologies. ***Examples:*** 1. Biopsy of brain tumor, microscopic confirmation diagnosis: Diffuse Astrocytoma (9400/3). Additional testing done, and IDH-mutant is identified. Code 01. 2. Biopsy of brain tumor, microscopic confirmation diagnosis: Anaplastic astrocytoma (9401/3). No further testing or results unknown. Code 99. 3. MRI of brain tumor, clinical diagnosis: glioblastoma. No further workup. Code 99. 4. Biopsy of brain tumor, microscopic confirmation diagnosis: Mixed glioma (9382/3). Code 85.
