Primary condition · VASRD 7528
Malignant Neoplasms of the Genitourinary System (Including Prostate Cancer)
This code covers malignant neoplasms of the genitourinary system — cancer of the urinary and reproductive organs rated in § 4.115b, prostate cancer among them. An active malignancy under this code is evaluated at 100 percent. Under the code's note, that 100 percent continues after surgical, X-ray, antineoplastic chemotherapy, or other therapeutic treatment ends, with a mandatory VA examination at the expiration of six months. If there has been no local recurrence or metastasis at that point, the evaluation is based on the residuals that remain, rated as voiding dysfunction or renal dysfunction, whichever is predominant.
Secondary condition · VASRD 7522
Erectile Dysfunction, With or Without Penile Deformity
This code covers erectile dysfunction, with or without penile deformity — neither element depends on the other being present. Under the code's note, a disease or traumatic injury of the penis that results in scarring or deformity is also rated here. The schedule lists a single evaluation for the code and it is 0 percent, so the percentage does not move with how severe the dysfunction is or how pronounced any deformity is. What the evidence has to establish is the diagnosis and how it connects to service, not a severity level.
