What is ICD-O?

ICD-O, or the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology, is a coding system used in pathology and oncology to classify neoplasms (tumors). It provides codes for the topography (site of origin) and morphology (histological type and behavior) of neoplasms. It is commonly used in cancer registries, pathology laboratories, and research settings to standardize the reporting and analysis of cancer data.
