In October 2009, RAEB with 5%-9% blasts (RAEB-1) was reclassified from 238.73 to 238.72 to improve coverage of erythropoiesis-stimulating agent treatment for patients with MDS. However, RAEB with 10%-19% (RAEB-2) remained under 238.73.²⁰

†

In October 2009, a new code for antineoplastic chemotherapy–induced anemia (285.3) was introduced, but not incorporated within SEER. NOS is listed where a topographic or morphologic term is not modified, has an adjective that does not appear elsewhere, or is used in a general sense.²⁰
