Oct 01, 2021 · Z15.01 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 Z15.01 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Z15.01 - other international versions of ICD-10 Z15.01 may differ.
Mutations of these genes increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancers. One study found that approximately 72 percent of women who inherit a BRCA1 mutation and approximately 69 percent of women who inherit a BRCA2 mutation will develop breast cancer by the age of 80.
Breast cancer can be coded by accounting the stage of the cancer. Breast cancer staging is based on the TNM system developed by the American Joint Committee on Cancer from seven key pieces of information: 1 Size of the tumor (T) 2 How many lymph nodes has the cancer spread to (N) 3 Has the cancer metastasized to other sites (M) 4 Is ER positive (ER) 5 Is PR positive (PR) 6 Is Her2 positive (Her2) 7 Grade of cancer (G)
BRCA1 and 2 are genes that have been identified in the production of tumor suppressor proteins. These genes are integral to repairing damaged deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Mutations of these genes increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancers. One study found that approximately 72 percent of women who inherit a BRCA1 mutation ...
One study found that approximately 72 percent of women who inherit a BRCA1 mutation and approximately 69 percent of women who inherit a BRCA2 mutation will develop breast cancer by the age of 80. The following CPT® codes can be used for BRCA1 and 2 mutation testing:
Other gene mutations include TP53, CDH1, and CHEK2, associated with breast cancer and RAD51C, RAD51D, and STK11, associated with an increased risk for ovarian cancer. Biomarkers such as ER, PR, and Her2 can be prognostic, predictive, or both. Prognostic markers are associated with a patient’s overall clinical outcome.
A positive result generally triggers the use of hormonal therapy. ER and PR are weak prognostic markers, but strong predictive indicators. ER/PR positive cancers are responsive to endocrine therapies such as tamoxifen. Endocrine therapy is highly effective and relatively non-toxic.
In-situ hybridization measures the number of copies of Her2 inside breast cancer cells. Her2 is both a prognostic and predictive indicator.
BRCA testing of men with breast cancer is considered medically necessary to assess the man's risk of recurrent breast cancer and/or to assess the breast cancer risk of a female member where the affected male is a first- or second-degree blood relative of that member.
Pilarski (2019) stated that beyond breast and ovarian cancers, mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes increase risks for pancreatic and prostate cancers and contribute to the prevalence of these cancers. Mutations in a number of other genes have also been shown to increase the risk for these cancers as well. Genetic testing is playing an increasingly important role in the treatment of patients with pancreatic and prostate cancer and is now recommended for all patients with pancreatic or metastatic prostate cancer, as well as patients with high Gleason grade prostate cancer and a remarkable family history. Identification of an inherited mutation can direct evaluation of the patient for other cancer risks as well as identification and management of disease in at-risk relatives. Growing evidence suggested improved responses to PARP inhibitors and other therapies in patients with mutations in the BRCA and other DNA repair genes. Although more work must be carried out to clarify the prevalence and penetrance of mutations in genes other than BRCA1 and BRCA2 in patients with pancreatic and prostate cancer, in most cases, testing is now being done with a panel of multiple genes. Because of the complexities in panel testing and the increased likelihood of finding variants of uncertain significance, pre- and post-test genetic counseling are essential. The author stated that in familial pancreatic cancer, defined as having 2 or more first-degree relatives affected with pancreatic cancer, BRCA2 mutations are found in about 5% to 10% of cases, and BRCA1 mutations, in approximately 1%. Therefore, BRCA1 and BRCA2 are the most common causes of familial pancreatic cancer.
Breast cancer is diagnosed at age 50 years or younger, with or without family history; or. 5. Women with a personal history of pancreatic adenocarcinoma at any age, or with familial pancreatic cancer, defined as having two or more first-degree relatives with pancreatic cancer.
An UpToDate review on “Overview of benign breast disease” (Sable, 2016) states that “Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia -- Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) is a benign stromal proliferation that simulates a vascular lesion. PASH may present as a mass or thickening on physical examination. The most common appearance on mammography and ultrasound is a solid, well-defined, non-calcified mass. The characteristic histologic appearance is a pattern of slit-like spaces in the stroma between glandular units. PASH can be confused with mammary angiosarcoma. If there are any suspicious features on imaging, the diagnosis of PASH on a core biopsy should not be accepted as a final diagnosis, and excisional biopsy should be performed. However, in the absence of suspicious imaging characteristics, a diagnosis of PASH at core biopsy is considered sufficient, and surgical excision is not always necessary. There is no increased risk of subsequent breast cancer associated with PASH”. The review does not mention prophylactic mastectomy as a management option.
Prophylactic bilateral oophorectomy has been recommended for women at high-risk of ovarian cancer. The term “hereditary ovarian cancer syndrome” refers to 3 rare cancer syndromes, which occurs in approximately 5% of all ovarian cancers. These are:
Myszka and associates (2011) noted that CHEK2 gene encodes cell cycle checkpoint kinase 2 that participates in the DNA repair pathway, cell cycle regulation and apoptosis. Mutations in CHEK2 gene may result in kinase inactivation or reduce both catalytic activity and capability of binding other proteins. Some studies indicated that alterations in CHEK2 gene confers increase the risk of breast cancer and some other malignancies, while the results of other studies are inconclusive. Thus, the significance of CHEK2 mutations in etiology of breast cancer is still debatable. These researchers evaluated the relationship between the breast/ovarian cancer and CHEK2 variants by:
Agochukwu and Wong (2017) stated that diabetic mastopathy is a benign condition of the breast that typically manifests in patients with diabetes mellitus. Lymphocytic mastopathy is the term used to describe this condition in patients without diabetes mellitus. Most patients undergo excisional biopsy, but the use of mastectomy, even in cases of diffuse, bilateral disease, is rarely reported. These investigators presented the case of a 32-year old woman with type 1 diabetes and bilateral diabetic mastopathy. Because of pain, and concern for limitations in future cancer detection, she underwent bilateral NSM with immediate direct-to-implant reconstruction. A systematic literature review was performed to examine the therapeutic options for this disease, particularly from a plastic surgery perspective. A total of 60 articles were reviewed that contained information regarding 313 patients. Of these patients, only 4 underwent mastectomy. The authors concluded that this case was the 1st report of bilateral NSM and immediate implant reconstruction for a patient with bilateral, symptomatic diabetic mastopathy.
