The CPT code is 32484.
You should first go to the section removal and then look for lung. After that, you should check the code for "single segment" as only one lung segment was resected. The CPT codes are yearly reviewed, so there is a chance that this code might not correspond to the latest version, although it is not likely. These codes are always five digits long and the system was developed by the American Medical Association.<span>

</span>The ICD-10-CM code is C34.10.
Firstly select the Neoplasms (section C00-D49) because it is lung cancer, then look for "Malignant neoplasms of respiratory and intrathoracic organs" as we are talking about the lung (section C30-C39). After this go to "Malignant neoplasm of bronchus and lung" (C34) which is the specification. Now you should select the type it is referring to, and we are looking for cancer in the lungs on the apical area from where the biopsy was done, with no specification of which lung - so, the right option should be "<span>Malignant neoplasm of upper lobe, unspecified bronchus or lung" (C34.10).</span>

Answer:

32484 (CTP) and C34.10. (ICD-10-CM)

Explanation:

Both CTP and ICD-10-CM are sets of codes used by healthcare professionals in the hospital setting. These codes are very useful for doctors, nurses and any other medical professional, because they reference all diseases, surgeries, procedures, applications and any other photor performed in the medical environment. These codes allow communication between professionals to be done faster and more universally, so professionals in any region of the world can understand what is happening to a patient.

In the case shown in the question above, the codes used would be 32484 in CTP and C34.10 in ICD-10-CM.

Approximately 90% of human cancer cells exhibit significant levels of telomerase. Does this mean that telomerase is an oncogene?
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

No, telomerase is not an oncogene. It prevents the senescence that would occur due to shortened telomeres, but the cell proliferation might still be mitogen-dependent.

Explanation

telomerase is not responsible for causing  deregulation while oncogenes cause deregulation .

Telomeres length shorten after the cell division which stops them to divide again and cell die.

Telomerase prevents this decline in some kinds of cells, including stem cells, by lengthening telomeres, and the hope was that activating the enzyme could  prevent senescence.
