ICD-10-PCS DV1 Radiation Therapy: Male Reproductive System Brachytherapy

Brachytherapy in the ICD-10-PCS coding system refers to the internal delivery of radiation therapy directly to a targeted body part. Within the Radiation Therapy classification, the root operation DV1 specifically involves applying radiation to the Male Reproductive System using various isotopes.

This form of treatment is distinguished by the use of radioactive sources placed close to or within the tumor site, allowing precise high or low dose radiation to minimize damage to surrounding tissues. Example procedures include High Dose Rate (HDR) Brachytherapy of the Prostate using isotopes such as Cesium 137 (Cs-137) (code DV1097Z) or Iridium 192 (Ir-192) (code DV1098Z). Similarly, Low Dose Rate (LDR) Brachytherapy of the prostate might use Palladium 103 (Pd-103) (code DV10BBZ). The codes also cover treatments targeting the Testis with corresponding isotopes and dose rates, illustrating the specificity of brachytherapy coding for male reproductive organs.

These detailed brachytherapy codes facilitate accurate documentation and differentiation of radiation techniques in urologic oncology.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify 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). There are a total of 29 procedure codes in this section.
