This patient has a very strong family history of pancreatic CA, and I'm looking at an ICD-9 code for this. As near as I can tell, *technically* family history of pancreatic CA should be V16.0. However, this code is on a colonoscopy. This is the reason this patient is having her colonoscopy, but is the V16.0 appropriate to use in this case? Family history of pancreatic cancer a risk factor for colon CA?
