hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) Pre-Orchiectomy Range

Notes

Note 1: Physician statement of the hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) Pre-Orchiectomy Range can be used to code this data item when no other information is available.

Note 2: Record the range of the highest hCG test result documented in the medical record prior to orchiectomy or prior to any systemic treatment. The lab value may be documented in a lab report, history and physical, or clinical statement in the pathology report.

Note 3: A lab value expressed in International Units/liter (IU/L) is equivalent to the same value expressed in milli-International Units/milliliter (mIU/mL).

Note 4: The same laboratory test should be used to record information in hCG Pre-orchiectomy Lab Value [NAACCR Data Item #3848].
