Collaborative Stage

Note 1: Code the tumor size as documented in the medical record.
Note 2: The assignment of T1 and T2 categories for tumors limited to the kidney is based on tumor size. A physician's statement of the T category may be used to code CS Tumor Size and/or CS Extension if this is the only information in the medical record regarding one or both of these fields. However the two fields are coded independently: for example the record may document size but not extension, other than the physician's statement of the T category. Use codes 994, 996-998 as appropriate to code CS Tumor Size based on a statement of T when no other size information is available.

Code	Description
000	No mass/tumor found
001-988	001 - 988 millimeters (mm) (Exact size to nearest mm)
989	989 millimeters or larger
990	Microscopic focus or foci only and no size of focus given
991	Described as "less than 1 centimeter (cm)"
992	Described as "less than 2 cm," or "greater than 1 cm," or "between 1 cm and 2 cm"
993	Described as "less than 3 cm," or "greater than 2 cm," or "between 2 cm and 3 cm"

996	Described as "7 cm or less" Stated as T1 [NOS] or T1b with no other information on tumor size Note: "Stated as T1b with no other information on size" moved from code 995 to code 996 in V0204
