It is also likely that the underuse of code 9875 for Ph+ CML is due to a bad translation of the ICD-O-3 classification: code 9863 refers to “chronic myeloid leukemia, NOS” and code 9875 refers to “chronic myelogenous leukemia, BCR/ABL positive” (Ph+ CML) and, although hematologists normally correctly diagnose cases of code 9875 as Ph+ CML, the use of the word “myelogenous” is ambiguous for non-hematologists. The gene discussed is ABL1; the disease is chronic myelogenous leukemia, BCR-ABL1 positive.
