- Hematologic Transplant and Endocrine Procedures code 30
Answer: Hematologic Transplant and Endocrine Procedures code 30
SEER Program Coding & Staging Manual 2024-page 224 Hematologic Transplant and Endocrine Procedures
Assign code 30 for endocrine radiation and/or surgery. Endocrine organs are testes and ovaries. Endocrine radiation and/or surgical procedures must be bilateral or must remove the remaining paired organ for hormonal effect.
Note: Bilateral oophorectomy is coded 30 when it is performed for hormonal effect for breast, endometrial, vaginal, and other primary cancers.
