APPENDIX C
International Classification of Diseases (ICD) Codes for Cancers of Interest

The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is a system used by physicians and researchers around the world to group related disease entities and procedures for the reporting of statistical information. It is used for the purposes of classifying morbidity and mortality information for statistical purposes, indexing hospital records by disease and operations, reporting diagnosis by physicians, data storage and retrieval, reporting national morbidity and mortality data, and reporting and compiling health care data.

Many of the studies reviewed by the committee use or were written at a time when the Ninth Edition of the classifications (ICD-9) was in place. Accordingly, ICD references in this report use that scheme. The Tenth Edition (ICD-10) began to be implemented in the United States in 1999. It differs from ICD-9 in the level of detail (~8,000 categories versus ~5,000) and nomenclature (alphanumeric versus numeric codes); additions and modifications were also made to some coding rules and the rules for selecting the underlying cause of death (Anderson et al., 2001).

Table C-1 lists the ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes for the various forms of cancer addressed in the report. The listed codes are for malignant neoplasms. In situ neoplasms, benign neoplasms, neoplasms of uncertain behavior, and neoplasms of unspecified behavior have separate codes in both schemes.

Sixth in a series of congressionally mandated studies, this book is an updated review and evaluation of the available evidence regarding the statistical assoication between exposure to herbicides used in Vietnam and various adverse health outcomes suspected to be linked with such exposure.

This book builds upon the information contained in the earlier books in the series:

  • Veterans and Agent Orange: Health Effects of Herbicides Used in Vietnam (1994)
    • Veterans and Agent Orange: Update 1996
    • Veterans and Agent Orange: Update 1998
    • Veterans and Agent Orange: Update 2000
    • Veterans and Agent Orange: Update 2002
    • Veterans and Agent Orange: Herbicides and Dioxin Exposure and Type 2 Diabetes (2000)
    • Veterans and Agent Orange: Herbicide/Dioxin Exposure and Acute Myelogenous Leukemia in the Children of Vietnam Veterans (2002)

      Veterans and Agent Orange: Update 2004 focuses primarily on scientific studies and other information developed since the release of these earlier books. The previous volumes have noted that sufficient evidence exists to link chronic lymphocytic leukemia, soft-tissue sarcoma, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease, and chloracne with exposure. The books also noted that there is “limited or suggestive” evidence of an association between exposure and respiratory cancers, prostate cancer, multiple myeloma, the metabolic disorder porphyria cutanea tarda, early-onset transient peripheral neuropathies, Type 2 diabetes, and the congenital birth defect spinal bifida in veterans’ children. This volume will be critically important to both policymakers and physicians in the federal government, Vietnam veterans and their families, veterans’ organizations, researchers, and health professionals.
