Tumor.hcgPostOrchiectomyRange
Description
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) Post-orchiectomy Range identifies the range category of the lowest hCG value measured post-orchiectomy. hCG is a serum tumor marker that is often elevated in patients with nonseminomatous germ cell tumors of the testis. The Post-Orchiectomy lab value is used to monitor response to therapy.
Rationale
hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is a Registry Data Collection Variable in AJCC. hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) Post-orchiectomy Range is used to assign the S Category Pathological and was previously collected as Testis CS SSF# 15.

| 2 | 5,000-50,000 mIU/mL |
| 3 | Greater than 50,000 mIU/mL |
| 4 | Post-orchiectomy human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) stated to be elevated |
