Official coding guidelines
From the ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting, FY 2027 (CMS and NCHS). Links open the PDF at the right page.
Rules for coding benign and malignant neoplasms: using the Neoplasm Table, sequencing primary and secondary sites, treatment encounters, complications, and current cancer versus personal history.
- Admission/Encounter for treatment of primary site (page 33)
- Admission/Encounter for treatment of secondary site (page 33)
- Coding and sequencing of complications (page 34)
- Primary malignancy previously excised (page 34)
- Admissions/Encounters involving antineoplastic chemotherapy, immunotherapy and radiation therapy (page 35)
- Admission/encounter to determine extent of malignancy (page 36)
- Symptoms, signs, and abnormal findings listed in Chapter 18 associated with neoplasms (page 36)
- Admission/encounter for pain control/management (page 36)

Testicular Cancer
Testicular cancer is a cancer that develops in the tissues of one or both testicles. The testicles, or testes, are part of the male reproductive system. They make male hormones and sperm. They are two egg-shaped glands inside the scrotum, a sac of loose skin that lies below the penis. You can get cancer in one or both testicles.
