Currently, there is no requirement for ICD-10-PCS training. Cancer registrars who don't maintain AHIMA credentials don't need ICD-10-specific credit hours, but it is strongly recommended that they familiarize themselves with the code set. Unfortunately, medical coder classes likely are more in-depth than what's necessary for registrars.
The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.

ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 179 : Malignant neoplasm of uterus, part unspecified. ICD-9-CM 179 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 179 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015.
CPT® Code 58571 in section: Laparoscopy, surgical, with total hysterectomy, for uterus 250 g or less.
Metastatic uterine (endometrial) cancer is a type of cancer that originated in the lining of the uterus (endometrium) and has spread to distant areas of the body. In general, uterine cancer can metastasize to the rectum or bladder. Other areas where it may spread include the vagina, ovaries and fallopian tubes.
Cervical Cancer (ICD-10: C53) - Indigomedconnect.
The uterus has a muscular outer layer called the myometrium and an inner lining called the endometrium.
ICD-10 code: Z80. 8 Family history of malignant neoplasm of other organs or systems.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
Approximate Synonyms. Adenocarcinoma of endometrium. Cancer of the endometrium. Cancer of the endometrium, adenocarcinoma. Cancer of the endometrium, adenosquamous. Cancer of the endometrium, clear cell. Cancer of the endometrium, mixed mullerian. Cancer of the endometrium, papillary serous.
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis. Code is only used for female patients. C54.1 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of endometrium.
It is the result of the abnormal growth of cells that have the ability to invade or spread to other parts of the body. The first sign is most often vaginal bleeding not associated with a menstrual period.
Z77-Z99 Persons with potential health hazards related to family and personal history and certain conditions influencing health status
Z85.42 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion '), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere. For multiple neoplasms of the same site that are not contiguous such as tumors in different quadrants of the same breast, codes for each site should be assigned.
When a primary malignancy has been previously excised or eradicated from its site and there is no further treatment directed to that site and there is no evidence of any existing primary malignancy at that site, a code from category Z85, Personal history of malignant neoplasm, should be used to indicate the former site of the malignancy. Any mention of extension, invasion, or metastasis to another site is coded as a secondary malignant neoplasm to that site. The secondary site may be the principal or first-listed with the Z85 code used as a secondary code.
Chapter 2 of the ICD-10-CM contains the codes for most benign and all malignant neoplasms. Certain benign neoplasms , such as prostatic adenomas, may be found in the specific body system chapters. To properly code a neoplasm, it is necessary to determine from the record if the neoplasm is benign, in-situ, malignant, or of uncertain histologic behavior. If malignant, any secondary ( metastatic) sites should also be determined.
Code C80.0, Disseminated malignant neoplasm, unspecified, is for use only in those cases where the patient has advanced metastatic disease and no known primary or secondary sites are specified. It should not be used in place of assigning codes for the primary site and all known secondary sites.
When a pregnant woman has a malignant neoplasm, a code from subcategory O9A.1 -, malignant neoplasm complicating pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium, should be sequenced first, followed by the appropriate code from Chapter 2 to indicate the type of neoplasm. Encounter for complication associated with a neoplasm.
There are also codes Z85.6, Personal history of leukemia, and Z85.79, Personal history of other malignant neoplasms of lymphoid, hematopoietic and related tissues. If the documentation is unclear as to whether the leukemia has achieved remission, the provider should be queried.
Code C80.1, Malignant ( primary) neoplasm, unspecified, equates to Cancer, unspecified. This code should only be used when no determination can be made as to the primary site of a malignancy. This code should rarely be used in the inpatient setting.
