Collaborative Stage

Note 1: Record the value of the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) test as documented in the patient record after orchiectomy and prior to further treatment.
Note 2: Use the same laboratory test to record values for CS Site-Specific Factors 14 and 15.
Note 3: Record a post-orchiectomy hCG of 20 milli-International Units (mIU/ml) as 002; record a post-orchiectomy hCG of 11, 000 mIU/ml as 200.
Note 4: Code 000 is reserved for exactly 0.0 mIU/ml (no measurable amount of hCG). Do not round tiny values down to 0.0 mIU/ml; any measured value less than or equal to 0.1 mIU/ml should be coded 001. For values greater than 001 mIU/ml, round values to the nearest mIU/ml.
Note 5: 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 6: If the initial post-orchiectomy hCG test remains elevated, review the subsequent tests until normalization or plateau occurs and use that test to code this field. See Part I for further explanation of serum tumor marker half life.
Note 7: If the post-orchiectomy hCG test is done but the actual value is not stated, use code 997.
Note 8: For rare cases that are treated prior to orchiectomy or an orchiectomy is not performed, code the initial hCG lab value in this field and not in CS Site-Specific Factor 8.
