Collaborative Stage

Collaborative Stage for TNM 7 - Revised 11/22/2010 [ Schema ]

CS Site-Specific Factor 10

Note: Since both omental and peritoneal gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are coded with the same ICD-O-3 topography code (C48.1), this Site-Specific Factor must be used to identify the appropriate AJCC stage table. Users who derive only the SEER Summary Stages and not AJCC TNM stages may code this field 988 or leave it blank.
