When is it used?

  • Used in lab systems, EHRs, and clinical data exchange.
  • May identify a test, observation, survey item, or clinical document request rather than a diagnosis.
  • Status: ACTIVE
  • Order vs observation: Both
  • Method: Molgen

What it does not mean

  • The code identifies the observation or test, not the actual result.

Key facts

Urothelial carcinoma recurrence score Urine Molecular genetics method
Urothelial carcinoma recurrence score
An overall score for the probability of recurrence of urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB) based on the presence of urine-based tumor markers in urine specimens by molecular genetic methods. Testing is performed for the diagnosis and surveillance of bladder cancer patients. Various non-invasive molecular assays exist for the detection of UC. Results may include an overall genetic expression score as well as a score for the recurrence of UC (this term). The submitter's test score ranges from 0-10 where a score of <3.5 is 'low probability of recurrent UC' and a score > or = 3.5 means 'clinician-directed protocol to determine the presence of recurrent UC, is warranted.[PMID27986532][PMID: 31028363]
