And Some Additional ICD10 Diagnosis Codes That Support Medical Necessity to the Final Policy April 11, 2018 Virginia Muir LCD Comments P.O. Box 7108 Indianapolis, IN 46207 [email protected] RE: Molecular Pathology Procedures Dear Ms. Muir, Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on National Government Services’ proposed coverage policy for Molecular Pathology Procedures (DL35000). The Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) is an international medical and professional association representing approximately 2,400 physicians, doctoral scientists, and medical technologists who perform or are involved with laboratory testing based on knowledge derived from molecular biology, genetics, and genomics. Membership includes professionals from the government, academic medicine, private and hospital-based clinical laboratories, and the in vitro diagnostics industry. As the world’s largest organization of board-certified pathologists and leading provider of laboratory accreditation and proficiency testing programs, the College of American Pathologists (CAP) serves patients, pathologists, and the public by fostering and advocating excellence in the practice of pathology and laboratory medicine worldwide. Members of both AMP and CAP are experts in molecular pathology and the implementation of this coverage policy will directly impact their practices. We are submitting joint comments because at this time both of our organizations share the same concerns regarding this draft LCD. CPT codes 81120 (IDH1), 81121 (IDH2), 81175 and 81176 (ASXL1), 81334 (RUNX1), 81335 (TPMT), 81479 (MYD88) With regard to these six new CPT category one codes: 81121, 81120, 81175, 81176, 81334, and 81335, and the new MYD88 indication for 81479 we request that NGS consider adding the following statements to the Coverage Guidance (Coverage Indications, Limitations, and/or Medical Necessity) and some additional ICD10 diagnosis codes that Support Medical Necessity to the final policy. CPT Code 81120 (IDH1) and 81121 (IDH2) IDH1 (isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 [NADP+], soluble) (eg, glioma), common variants (eg, R132H, R132C) is considered medically necessary in patients in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), and central nervous system gliomas to guide therapeutic decision making. IDH2 (isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 [NADP+], mitochondrial) (eg, glioma), common variants (eg, R140W, R172M) is considered medically necessary in patients in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) and central nervous system gliomas to guide therapeutic decision making. Evidence: MPN: IDH1/2 mutations are an independent predictor of poor prognosis in MPN acting as an essential factor in the decision whether a patient should undergo bone marrow transplant (2018 v2 NCCN myeloproliferative neoplasm guidelines). AML: IDH2 mutations identify patients for treatment with enasidenib, a potent inhibitor of mutant IDH2 that promotes differentiation of myeloid cells in patients with advanced hematologic malignancies (2018 v1 NCCN AML guidelines, see page AML-12). Glioma: NCCN central nervous system guidelines make the recommendation: IDH mutation testing is required for the workup of glioma (2018 v1 NCCN central nervous system cancer guidelines, see BRAIN-F (7 of 9)). “IDH mutations define WHO grade II and III astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas, and the secondary grade IV glioblastomas into which astrocytomas often evolve. Their presence distinguishes lower-grade gliomas from primary glioblastomas, which are IDH wild type. Detection of these mutations in a specimen that is otherwise equivocal for tumor may also be regarded as evidence that diffusely infiltrative glioma is present” Group 33 ICD-10 Codes Paragraph (IDH1/2) The proposed policy lists the 3 ICD-10 codes for MPN. We agree that an exact diagnosis and ICD-10 should be known for a patient previously classified as having MPN. However the ICD10 codes listed in the policy do not accommodate diseases such as AML and glioma for which current NCCN guidelines consider testing to medically necessary. In addition the ICD10 codes for diseases such as CMML which demonstrate features of both MPN and MDS have been omitted. In addition, we request addition of ICD-10 codes associated with the appropriate clinical criteria raising the suspicion of MPN and AML or glioma that trigger the oncologist’s request for this testing (e.g. D47.1 Chronic myeloproliferative disease). We recommend inclusion of additional ICD-10 codes for MPN, AML and central nervous system glioma that would fulfill criteria for this policy. The additional codes include, but may not be limited to, those listed below: Group 33 AML C92 Myeloid leukemia C92.0 Acute myeloblastic leukemia C92.00 Acute myeloblastic leukemia, not having achieved

  • Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia with Der(9)T(1;9)(Q11;Q34) As a Sole Abnormality
    Available online at www.annclinlabsci.org Annals of Clinical & Laboratory Science, vol. 39, no. 3, 2009 307 Case Report and Review of the Literature: Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia with der(9)t(1;9)(q11;q34) as a Sole Abnormality Borum Suh,1 Tae Sung Park,1* Jin Seok Kim,2 Jaewoo Song,1 Juwon Kim,1 Jong-Ha Yoo,1,3 and Jong Rak Choi1 Departments of 1Laboratory Medicine and 2Internal Medicine, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea; 3Department of Laboratory Medicine, National Health Insurance Corporation Ilsan Hospital, Goyang-si, Kyonggi-do, Korea Abstract. The chromosomal abnormality der(9)t(1;9)(q11;q34) is a rare occurrence in patients with hematologic malignancies. As far as we know, only 3 cases of acute myeloid leukemia, 1 case of polycythemia vera, and 1 case of multiple myeloma with this derivative chromosome have been reported in the literature. Here we report the first case of der(9)t(1;9)(q11;q34) in a patient with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). A 45-yr-old man was brought to our hospital for evaluation of pancytopenia and monocytosis. The patient’s persistent monocytosis in peripheral blood and his bone marrow findings were consistent with the diagnosis of CMML. Chromosome study results repeatedly showed 46,XY,der(9)t(1;9)(q11;q34). In addition, the BCR/ABL fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) pattern of the interphase cells was interpreted as: “nuc ish(ABL, BCR) x 2[292/300],” consistent with the normal signal patterns found in 97% of the nuclei examined. For further evaluation, multi-color FISH (mFISH) analysis was performed and it showed the distinct unbalanced derivative chromosome der(9)t(1;9)(q11;q34) in 5 metaphase cells analyzed.

  • Laboratory Diagnosis of Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia
    Case Report Laboratory diagnosis of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia and progression to acute leukemia in association with chronic lymphocytic leukemia: morphological features and immunophenotypic profile Iris Mattos Santos Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia is a clonal stem cell disorder that is characterized mainly by absolute Carine Muniz Ribeiro Franzon peripheral monocytosis. This disease can present myeloproliferative and myelodysplastic characteristics. Adolfo Haruo Koga According to the classification established by the World Health Organization, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia is inserted in a group of myeloproliferative/myelodysplastic disorders; its diagnosis requires the presence of persistent monocytosis and dysplasia involving one or more myeloid cell lineages. Furthermore, there should be Laboratório Médico Santa Luzia, an absence of the Philadelphia chromosome and the BCR/ABL fusion gene and less than 20% blasts in the blood São José, SC, Brazil or bone marrow. Phenotypically, the cells in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia can present myelomonocytic antigens, such as CD33 and CD13, overexpressions of CD56 and CD2 and variable expressions of HLA- DR, CD36, CD14, CD15, CD68 and CD64. The increase in the CD34 expression may be associated with a transformation into acute leukemia. Cytogenetic alterations are frequent in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, and molecular mutations such as NRAS have been identified. The present article reports on a case of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, diagnosed by morphologic and phenotypical findings that, despite having been suggestive of acute monocytic leukemia, were differentiated through a detailed analysis of cell morphology. Furthermore, typical cells of chronic lymphocytic leukemia were found, making this a rare finding. Keywords: Leukemia, myelomonocytic, chronic; Leukemia, myelomonocytic, acute; Leukemia, lymphocytic, chronic, B-Cell; Case reports Introduction In the 80s, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) was classified by the FAB (French-American-British) system as a subcategory of myelodysplastic syndromes.

  • Adult Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia with Trisomy 11: a Case Report
    CHRONIC MYELOMONOCYTIC LEUKEMIA WITH CASETRISOMY REPORT11, Yoo et al. Adult chronic myelomonocytic leukemia with trisomy 11: a case report a †a ‡ ‡ ‡ ‡ S.H. Yoo MD,* J. Lim MD, J.M. Byun MD, J.H. Park MD, K.H. Kim MD, and I.S. Choi MD PhD ABSTRACT Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (cmml) is an indolent disease in the category of myelodysplastic and myelopro- liferative neoplasms, which can often evolve into acute leukemic neoplasms. Although cytogenetic abnormalities such as trisomy 8 or absence of chromosome Y are well known, few reports about cmml with trisomy 11 have been published. Here, we report a case of cmml with trisomy 11 as the sole chromosomal abnormality, resulting in a very poor outcome. Based on a bone marrow specimen, cmml-1 with trisomy 11 was diagnosed in a 79-year-old man presenting with anemia and atypical peripheral blood cells. Because of the patient’s age, he was followed without receiving anticancer treatment. Two months after his diagnosis, the patient’s leucocytosis and anemia rapidly worsened, with increasing numbers of immature peripheral cells, which was strongly suggestive of leukemic transformation. Because of acute kidney injury superimposed on chronic kidney disease that led to poor performance status, cytotoxic chemotherapy was not considered feasible, and the patient was transferred to a hospice care facility.

A specific diagnostic role for the bone marrow biopsy has not been adequately explored. We examined whether bone marrow biopsy supplemented by immunohistochemistry may be helpful in distinguishing CMML from cases of chronic myelogenous leukemia and atypical chronic myeloid leukemia (aCML). We immunostained 25 cases of CMML with paraffin reactive antibodies which included CD68 (KP1), CD68R (PG-M1), and CD163, and compared the results with those observed in six cases of chronic myelogenous leukemia and in three cases of atypical CML. In addition, we examined whether CD34 immunohistochemistry could be useful in separating cases of CMML with less than 10% blasts (type-1) from cases of CMML with blasts accounting for 10–19% (type-2), and cases of CMML in acute transformation to acute myeloid leukemia (blastsZ20%). The presence of nodules of plasmacytoid monocytes was investigated by CD123 staining. CD42b was used to highlight abnormal megakaryocytes. Our results demonstrate significant differences between the groups.

Box 22700, 1100 DE Amsterdam, The Netherlands. mailto:[email protected] Abstract Keywords Disease name and synonyms Definition Differential diagnosis Etiology Clinical presentation Diagnostic methods Epidemiology Management including treatment Outcome Unresolved questions and conclusion References Abstract Acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) is a group of malignant bone marrow neoplasms of myeloid precursors of white blood cells. Acute monocytic leukemia (AML-M5) is one of the most common type of AML in young children (< 2 years). However, the condition is rare and represents approximately 2.5% of all leukemias during childhood and has an incidence of 0.8 – 1.1 per million per year. The symptoms may be aspecific: asthenia, pallor, fever, dizziness and respiratory symptoms. More specific symptoms are bruises and/or (excessive) bleeding, coagulation disorders (DIC), neurological disorders and gingival hyperplasia. Diagnostic methods include blood analysis, bone marrow aspirate for cytochemical, immunological and cytogenetical analysis, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) investigations. A characteristic translocation observed in AML-M5 is t(9;11). Treatment includes intensive multidrug chemotherapy and in selected cases allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.
