The tissue in the body is made up of cells. With cancer, the cells multiply uncontrollably, which leads to a malignant neoplasm (abnormal growth of tissue) developing. The cancer cells can destroy the healthy tissue and spread throughout the body. The prostate forms part of the male
genital organs. The prostate sits below the bladder and encircles the urethra. The prostate is also known as the prostate gland. Some of the seminal fluid is formed in the prostate. The cells in your prostate have multiplied uncontrollably. Many men get prostate cancer in older age. Many older men don’t have any symptoms from prostate cancer. Please note: This ICD code may also derive from the ICD-O system. If this is the case, there
are usually additional letters and numbers in addition to the code. It starts with the letter M, followed by 4 digits and then a slash. There is another digit after the slash. If it is an ICD-O code, then this does not describe a malignant cancer in all cases. The last digit after the slash gives you more detailed information about this: Additional indicatorOn medical documents, the ICD code is often appended by letters that indicate the diagnostic certainty or the affected side of the body.
