AFP (Alpha Fetoprotein) Post-Orchiectomy Lab Value
Notes
Note 1: Physician statement of the AFP (Alpha Fetoprotein) Post-Orchiectomy Lab Value can be used to code this data item when no other information is available.
Note 2: Record the lab value of the AFP test results documented in the medical record after orchiectomy but prior to adjuvant therapy. The lab value may be documented in a lab report, history and physical, or clinical statement in the pathology report.
Note 3: If the initial post-orchiectomy AFP remains elevated, review subsequent tests and record the lowest AFP value (normalization or plateau) prior to adjuvant therapy or before the value rises again.
Note 4: A lab value expressed in micrograms/liter (ug/L) is equivalent to the same value expressed in ng/mL.
Note 5: If the pre-orchiectomy AFP was normal, a post-orchiectomy AFP may not be performed. In this case, code XXXXX.9 should be recorded.
Note 6: If the only information available is a statement of elevated or normal, code XXXXX.9.
Note 7: The same laboratory test should be used to record information in AFP Post-Orchiectomy Range [NAACCR Data Item #3806].
