Functional activity. 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]
Non-small cell cancer includes squamous cell carcinoma (also called epidermoid carcinoma), large cell carcinoma, and adenocarcinoma. Codes for lung cancer are categorized by morphology, site, and laterality (except C34.2 Malignant neoplasm of middle lobe, brounchus or lung because only the right lung has a middle lobe ).
Lung cancer is the second most common cancer among both men and women in the United States, and is the leading cause of cancer death among both sexes. The number one risk factor for lung cancer is cigarette smoking. There are two main types of lung cancer .

This type of lung cancer is more common than small cell. Regardless of the cell type, the ICD-9-CM code for primary malignant neoplasm of the lung is 162.x, with the fourth-digit subcategory identifying the specified site of the cancer such as:
Vol. 23 No. 7 P. 27. Lung cancer is any type of malignant growth in the lungs that occurs when cells in the lung start to grow rapidly and uncontrollably. Smoking puts people at the highest risk of developing lung cancer, though exposure to secondhand smoke is also a major cause.
There are two major types of lung cancer, which is determined by the appearance of the cancerous cells under a microscope: • Small-cell lung cancer: Also called oat cell cancer, it is the more aggressive type and frequently metastasizes to other sites such as the liver, bone, and brain.
Procedures may include the following: • Wedge resection (32.29) or thoracoscopic wedge resection (32.20) is the removal of a small portion of the affected lung.
When symptoms do appear in the more advanced stages, they may include the following: • coughing (a new cough or a change in a chronic cough); • hemoptysis; • chest pain; • shortness of breath; • wheezing; • hoarseness; • weight loss; • bone pain; and/or.
Advanced lung cancer eventually metastasizes to nearby lymph nodes or other tissues in the chest, including the other lung. In many cases, lung cancer spreads to other organs in the body such as the bone (198.5), brain (198.3), liver (197.7), and adrenal glands (198.7). Diagnosis.
