aNew code in the 2016 CNS WHO and SEER. Effective with cases diagnosed 1/1/2018 and forward.

bCode 9420/3 has been deleted from the 2016 CNS WHO since this diagnosis overlaps nearly entirely with the standard diffuse astrocytoma. For that reason, it has been added to category “Diffuse astrocytoma and anaplastic astrocytoma.”

cThe behavior for code 9421/3 is /1 in the 2016 CNS WHO but /3 in SEER and CBTRUS.

dNew code in SEER. Effective with cases diagnosed 1/1/2018 and forward.

eUnder “Mesenchymal, nonmeningothelial tumors” in the 2016 CNS WHO.

fNew term. Effective with cases diagnosed 1/1/2018 and forward.
