Cancer that forms in tissues of the lung, usually in the cells lining air passages. The two main types are small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. These types are diagnosed based on how the cells look under a microscope.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM C34.90 became effective on October 1, 2021.
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.
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 .

Non-small cell carcinoma (80463) A general term used sloppily to separate small cell from the "non-small cell" types (such as adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, large cell, etc.) of carcinomas. Only use 8046/3 when there is no other type of non-small cell carcinoma contained in the source documents.
Other subtypes of adenocarcinoma are acinar, papillary, and mucinous. A specific histologic variant containing both epithelial (squamous) and glandular (adeno-) cells. Arise from neuroectoderm (which generates supporting structures of lung). Melanomas, sarcomas and lymphomas may also arise in the lung.
Synonyms for in situ carcinoma: polypoid with no invasion of stalk, confined to epithelium, intraepidermal, intraepithelial, involvment up to but not through the basement membrane, noninfiltrating, no stromal involvement, papillary noninfiltrating, Stage 0.
A tumor of the apex of lung which invades brachial plexus nerves causing pain in the arm. A less invasive tumor of the apex of the lung. It is a description of where the tumor arose: broncho- (bronchus) and -genic (arising in). More information should be obtained before the morphology is coded.
Small cell cancers are usually central lesions (in the bronchus or toward the center or hilum of the lung). Occasionally, mixed tumors containing small cells and non-small cells are diagnosed. These should be treated as small cell cancers. Common non- small cell lung cancer histologies: Squamous or epidermoid (807_3)
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.
The biopsy may be performed though a bronchoscope (33.24), percutaneous needle (33.26), thoracoscopic (33.20), or open (33.28). A transthoracic needle biopsy of lung is also classified to code 33.26. Transbronchial lung biopsy (33.27) is when the bronchoscope biopsy forceps actually punctures the terminal bronchus and samples ...
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.
The specific site of the lung biopsy (character 4) should be identified, including upper, middle, or lower lobe and the laterality of the biopsy (right vs. left vs. bilateral). The approach (character 5) may be one of the following:
Therefore, a thoracoscopic wedge biopsy of the left upper lung lobe is classified to ICD-10-PCS code 0BBG4ZX.
Carcinoma in situ of the lung is classified to code 231.2. Nonmalignant neoplasms of the lung are classified to code 212.3 for benign, 235.7 for uncertain behavior, and 239.1 for unspecified nature. If the lung cancer is considered a metastatic site—the cancer spread from another organ to the lung—code 197.0 is assigned.

Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a high-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma arising predominantly in current or former smokers and has an exceptionally poor prognosis1. SCLC makes up about 15% of lung cancer cases. Patients with SCLC typically present with respiratory symptoms, including cough, dyspnoea (laboured breathing) or haemoptysis ...
Primary small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) tumours tend to be centrally located and are often bulky at presentation. Common sites of metastatic spread include lymphatic spread to hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes and haematogenous spread to the contralateral lung, the brain, liver, adrenal glands and bone. Circulating tumour cells are common in patients with SCLC and are found as both isolated cells and small clusters. RBC, red blood cell.
Four major subtypes of SCLC are defined based on high levels of ASCL1 (SCLC-A subtype), NEUROD1 (SCLC-N), POU2F3 (SCLC-P) or YAP1 (SCLC-Y) 130. Subsequent analyses have suggested a division of SCLC-A into two clusters (SCLC-A and SCLC-A2) differing in their expression of HES1 (REF.131) and a rare subtype demonstrating elevated expression of the transcription factor ATOH1 (REF.79) (FIG. 3). Among other differences, these subtypes tend to reflect the differential expression of MYC family members, with increased MYCLexpression being associated with SCLC-A and increased MYCexpression occurring in the other subtypes. Data from both mouse models and clinical trials suggest that Aurora kinase inhibitors might be selectively effective in MYC-high SCLC44,132,133. Differences between the transcription programmes of these four subtypes include distinct degrees of neuroendocrine differentiation and differences in metabolism. This emerging molecular classification also serves as a framework within which to further refine additional subtypes131(FIG. 3). Importantly, single-cell analyses are likely to help define how intratumoural heterogeneity is connected to these and possibly new subtypes109,110. Analogous to the transition of lung adenocarcinoma to SCLC, an important aspect of future studies will be to monitor how SCLC tumours of certain subtypes evolve with time and treatment. Data from mouse SCLC cell lines suggest a possible developmental hierarchy among subtypes, with SCLC-A evolving to SCLC-N and subsequently to SCLC-Y134. Of note, mouse models generated to date only model the SCLC-A and SCLC-N subtypes130, and the development of new models combining various genetic alterations and different putative cell-of-origin types56will be key to modelling all subtypes, possibly helping to define new subtypes and to investigate intratumoural and intertumoural heterogeneity in SCLC.
SCLC cells have the capacity to communicate with their microenvironment in an autocrine, paracrine and endocrine manner. Several studies suggest that neuropeptides produced by SCLC cells promote tumour cell survival and proliferation by autocrine and paracrine loops93–96. Autocrine KIT, Hedgehog and IGF1 signalling can enhance SCLC cell growth97–99and paracrine FGF signalling between neuroendocrine and non-neuroendocrine SCLC cells might promote survival and metastasis100. The presence of endocrine paraneoplastic syndromes in patients with SCLC101,102imply that long-range communication exists between SCLC cells and other cells in the body but it is unclear if these systemic effects have a role in SCLC growth. Overall, the extent of the molecules secreted by SCLC cells, the cell types reached by these molecules, and the effects of these interactions on tumour growth and response to treatment remain largely unknown.
SCLC tumours growing in the lungs of genetically engineered mice often metastasize to the pleural space, lymph nodes and distant organs, including the liver, similar to what is observed in patients54. One notable exception is the lack of brain metastasis in SCLC mouse models, which might reflect either biological differences between human and mouse tumours or the relatively rapid death of mice from their primary tumours and liver metastases. The analysis of primary tumours and metastases in mouse models identified the transcription factor NFIB as a major determinant of SCLC metastasis112–114. NFIB levels are also elevated in human SCLC metastases compared with primary tumours112,113. One mechanism underlying the pro-metastatic role of NFIB in SCLC is by the induction of gene expression programmes related to cell adhesion, cell migration and neuronal differentiation90,112. Mechanisms other than NFIB remain poorly understood but factors associated with neuronal differentiation and migration are also implicated in SCLC metastatic potential83,115.
SCLC comprises an estimated 250,000 new cases and at least 200,000 deaths globally each year5. Lung cancer, including all histological subtypes, is more prevalent in high-income countries/regions, reflecting relative levels of tobacco consumption4,6. However, the specific incidence of SCLC in different countries/regions or continents is not well described. As with lung cancer in general, SCLC is most prevalent in men but the proportion of cases in women compared to men has risen worldwide over the past 50 years, again reflecting tobacco consumption trends7. SCLC incidence in the USA has been declining over the past three decades in parallel with the decreasing prevalence of cigarette smoking8. In the USA, the proportion of elderly patients with SCLC (>70 years of age) has increased from 23% in 1975 to 44% in 2010 (REF.9). Despite a higher prevalence of smoking in African-American men and women, SCLC is less prevalent in African-American individuals than in white Americans10,11.
Other early studies described the amplification of MYC family genes (MYC , MYCLand MYCN) in a subset of SCLC tumours27–29. These observations have been validated in DNA and RNA sequencing analyses of larger cohorts of primary tumours and of patient-derived and CTC-derived xenograft models24,30–33. These studies also identified other recurrent alterations (Table 1). Among the few that have been functionally validated in mouse models or cell culture assays are loss-of-function events in RB family members p107 and p130 (encoded by RBL1and RBL2, respectively)34–36, the tumour suppressor PTEN37,38, NOTCH receptors24,39,40and the chromatin regulator CREBBP41. In addition to recurrent amplification of MYC family genes42–44, amplification of FGFR1(encoding fibroblast growth factor receptor 1)45and GNAS(encoding the α-subunit of the heterotrimeric G protein Gs)46also occurs. The histone methyltransferase KMT2D (also known as MLL) is mutationally inactivated in 8% of SCLC tumours47. Importantly, primary tumours and patient-derived xenograft models often correspond to early stages of SCLC development, which may introduce a bias in the identification of genetic drivers. However, genetic analysis of more advanced cancers has, thus far, not identified new drivers, except possibly a role for WNT signalling in chemoresistant SCLC48.
