ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System DV - Male Reproductive System
The ICD-10-PCS root operation DV pertains to Radiation Therapy applied to the Male Reproductive System. This operation involves the controlled use of radiation to treat malignant conditions in this body system.
Within this category, specific types of radiation therapy include Beam Radiation (code DV0), which directs high-energy rays from outside the body toward cancerous tissue. Another approach is Brachytherapy (code DV1), where radioactive materials are placed inside or near the tumor using needles or seeds. Additionally, Stereotactic Radiosurgery (code DV2) delivers a precise, high-dose radiation in a single session with specialized equipment to target the tumor accurately. The ICD-10-PCS system also accounts for Other Radiation types (code DVY) that may be used in treatment. These codes allow detailed documentation of radiation procedures for male reproductive cancers, aiding clinical communication and treatment planning.
List of ICD-10-PCS procedures under ICD-10-PCS Body System DV - Male Reproductive System
DV0 - Beam Radiation - A type of radiation therapy that uses a machine to aim high-energy rays at the cancer from outside of the body
DV1 - Brachytherapy - A type of radiation therapy in which radioactive material sealed in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters is placed directly into or near a tumor
DV2 - Stereotactic Radiosurgery - A type of external radiation therapy that uses special equipment to position the patient and precisely give a single large dose of radiation to a tumor
