yes 

Note 1 Physician statement of the AFP (Alpha Fetoprotein) Pre-Orchiectomy Range can be used to code this data item when no other information is available.

Note 2 Record the range of the highest AFP test result documented in the medical record prior to orchiectomy or prior to any systemic treatment. The lab value may be documented in a lab report, history and physical, or clinical statement in the pathology report.

Note 3 A lab value expressed in micrograms/liter (ug/L) is equivalent to the same value expressed in nanograms/milliliter (ng/mL).

Note 4 If the lab value is expressed in IU/ml, use the following conversion 1 ng/mL = 0.83 IU/mL.

  • To calculate ng from IU/mL, divide the value for IU by 0.83.
  • Example 10 IU/mL 10/0.83 = 12.04 ng/mL; 5 IU/mL 5/0.83= 6.02 ng/mL

Note 5 The same laboratory test should be used to record information in AFP Pre-Orchiectomy Lab Value (NAACCR Data Item #3807).
