Metastatic cancer is not contagious, it is not a spreadable disease. Metastasis is the medical term for cancer that spreads to a different part of the body from where it started. Metastases most commonly develop when cancer cells break away from the main tumor and enter the bloodstream or lymphatic system.
High-grade NENs of the GI tract and pancreas are a heterogeneous group of aggressive malignancies. Most are poorly differentiated high-grade neuroendocrine carcinomas (NEC) with a high propensity for distant metastases and an ominous prognosis, even when clinically localized.
Overview. Neuroendocrine tumors are cancers that begin in specialized cells called neuroendocrine cells. Neuroendocrine cells have traits similar to those of nerve cells and hormone-producing cells. Neuroendocrine tumors are rare and can occur anywhere in the body.

(NOOR-oh-EN-doh-krin TOO-mer) A tumor that forms from cells that release hormones into the blood in response to a signal from the nervous system. Neuroendocrine tumors may make higher-than-normal amounts of hormones, which can cause many different symptoms. These tumors may be benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer).
Malignant poorly differentiated neuroendocrine tumors C7A. 1 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM C7A. 1 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Large cell neuroendocrine tumours tend to be aggressive tumours that grow quickly. They are more likely to spread to other parts of the body. Small cell lung neuroendocrine carcinomas, or small cell lung cancers, are also poorly differentiated cancerous tumours.
Well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) comprise ~1–3% of pancreatic neoplasms. Although long considered as reasonably benign lesions, PanNETs have considerable malignant potential, with a 5-year survival of ~65% and a 10-year survival of 45% for resected lesions.
Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (SNEC) is a high grade and poorly differentiated neuroendocrine tumor which typically presents as a primary pulmonary neoplasm near the bronchial region. Due to the aggressive nature of the tumor, there are many ways it can initially present, mostly involving the lungs.
Not all cancers are carcinoma. Other types of cancer that aren't carcinomas invade the body in different ways. Those cancers begin in other types of tissue, such as: Bone.
The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies neuroendocrine tumors according to the malignant potential of the tumor: Well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (grade 1 and 2) Poorly-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (grade 3)
About neuroendocrine tumours It produces hormones and releases them into the bloodstream. NETs are tumours (abnormal growths) that develop in the cells of the neuroendocrine system. NETs can be malignant (cancerous) or benign (non-cancerous) and often – but not always – grow slowly.
Listen to pronunciation. (NOOR-oh-EN-doh-krin) Having to do with the interactions between the nervous system and the endocrine system. Neuroendocrine describes certain cells that release hormones into the blood in response to stimulation of the nervous system.
Neuroendocrine tumors are a rare type of tumor composed of cells that produce and secrete regulatory hormones. Tumors comprised of these cells are consequently capable of producing hormonal syndromes (e.g., carcinoid syndrome), in which the normal hormonal balance required to support body system functions is adversely affected.

Hi, I code for Oncology. If the patient has a Well-differentiated NE tumor it is cancer, and not a benign condition. The Neuroendocrine section is a little tricky, b/c a Carcinoid tumor is a subset or a special type of neuroendocrine cancer, and will be stated in the pathology report.
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.
All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm. Morphology [Histology] Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, ...
The Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code. In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes. Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries.

In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere.". Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code.
A type 2 excludes note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition it is excluded from but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When a type 2 excludes note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code ( C7A) and the excluded code together.

Carcinoid tumors are one subset of tumors called neuroendocrine tumors, usually begin in the digestive tract (stomach, appendix, small intestine, colon, rectum) or in the lungs. When the documentation states only carcinoid tumor and does not provide enough information (site) to assign a more specific code.
Neuroendocrine tumors are a rare type of tumor composed of cells that produce and secrete regulatory hormones.
C7B.1. If a neuroendocrine tumor (NET) spreads, it can spread to the below sites and metastasis code should be from C7B series. Carcinoid malignancies aren't going to metastasize as another type of carcinoma. tissues or structures near the organ where the cancer started, such as the peritoneum, the pleura or fat tissue.
In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere.". Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code.
