Term
| The _ table in the Alphabetic Index should be referenced _. However, if the histological term is documented, that _ should be referenced first, rather than going immediately to the _, in order to determine which _ in the Neoplasm Table is appropriate. For example, if the documentation indicates “_,” refer to the term in the Alphabetic Index to review the entries under this term and the instructional note to “_ neoplasm, by site, benign.” The table provides the proper code based on the _ of neoplasm and the _. It is important to select the proper _ in the table that corresponds to the _ of neoplasm. The Tabular List should then be referenced to verify that the _ has been selected from the table and that a _ site code does not exist. |
