When is class of case 10 assigned?

Class of case 10 is assigned in situations where the patient has been diagnosed with cancer, but there is a lack of information regarding any treatment received. This classification is used to denote cases where the patient's treatment history is unclear or not documented, despite the presence of a confirmed diagnosis. This scenario emphasizes the critical importance of accurate data collection and reporting in oncology, as treatment details significantly influence patient management and outcomes.

In contrast, other classifications correspond to different situations based on the patient's treatment received at a specific facility, whether it's complete treatment or follow-up care. By identifying class of case 10, healthcare facilities can better track these ambiguous cases and highlight areas for improvement in documentation and patient information retention.
