**Note 1:** Except for pT4, where radical orchiectomy is not always necessary for classification purposes, the extent of the primary tumor is classified after radical orchiectomy; see pT. **Note 2:** Assign TX for clinical T prior to radical orchiectomy or if no radical orchiectomy is performed unless there is a cT4.NAACCR Item
