Abstract

The International Classification of Diseases for Oncology (ICD-O), created by the World Health Organisation (WHO), is used as a common language among clinicians and researchers. It is regularly updated depending on most recent studies; new codes are added or older ones are revised due to our better understanding of tumour biology and genetics. This review gives a brief explanation and updates of the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology (ICD-O), especially for the orthopaedic codes, at the most recent 3rd edition and 3rd edition first revision of ICD-O and Turkish version of ICD-O.
