The correct ICD-10-CM codes are D64.81 for anemia due to antineoplastic chemotherapy, C79.51 for secondary bone cancer (metastatic bone cancer with the primary site being the prostate), and T45.1X5A for adverse effect of antineoplastic and immunosuppressive drugs, initial encounter. The order of the codes reflects the reason for the admission first (anemia due to chemotherapy) followed by the codes for the metastatic cancer and the adverse effect of the treatment.
