CS Site-Specific Factor 10
Pre-Orchiectomy Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) Range
Notes
**Note 1**: Of the three tumor markers, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is the least specific for testicular cancer and is more of a determinant of bulky or disseminated disease. Although recommended to be tested, LDH may not be routinely performed, especially if the primary is localized. **Note 2**: Record the range of the LDH test as documented in the patient record prior to orchiectomy and other treatment. **Note 3**: If the pre-orchiectomy LDH test is unavailable but a physician's statement of the result is documented, use codes 991-993. **Note 4**: For rare cases that are treated prior to orchiectomy, use code 995 in this field and record the initial LDH range in CS Site-Specific Factor 16. **Note 5**: For rare cases that an orchiectomy is not performed, use code 996 in this field and record the initial LDH range in CS Site-Specific Factor 16.Default
