Collaborative Stage

Note 1: Record the range of the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) test as documented in the patient record prior to orchiectomy and other treatment.
Note 2: Use the same laboratory test to record values in CS Site-Specific Factors 8 and 9.
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: If the pre-orchiectomy hCG test is unavailable but a physician's statement of the result is documented, use codes 991-993.
Note 5: For rare cases that are treated prior to orchiectomy, use code 995 in this field and record the initial hCG range in CS Site-Specific Factor 15.
Note 6: For rare cases that an orchiectomy is not performed, use code 996 in this field and record the initial hCG range in CS Site-Specific Factor 15.
