Personal history of malignant neoplasm of testis

This code indicates a patient's past history of testicular cancer that has been successfully treated and is currently in remission. It signifies that the patient no longer has active disease but requires ongoing surveillance due to the increased risk of recurrence or secondary malignancies.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters for patients who have completed definitive treatment (e.g., surgery, chemotherapy, radiation) for testicular cancer and are now considered cancer-free. It is appropriate for surveillance visits, monitoring for long-term side effects, or when addressing unrelated conditions in a patient with a history of this malignancy.

• Always sequence this code after any active treatment codes if the patient is still undergoing therapy for a different condition.
• Do not use this code if the patient has active testicular cancer; instead, use the appropriate C-code for the current malignancy.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the patient's history of testicular cancer and that it is no longer active.
