Collaborative Stage

Collaborative Stage for TNM 7 - Revised 11/08/2010 [ Schema ]

CS Extension

Note 1: In the case of multiple simultaneous tumors, code the tumor with the greatest extension.
Note 2: Skin ulceration does not alter the AJCC T category.
Note 3: In-transit metastasis is coded in CS Lymph Nodes.
Note 4: The assignment of the T1, T2, and T3 categories for Merkel cell carcinomas is based on tumor size. A physician's statement of the T category may be used to code both 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. Use codes 310, 320, 330, and 810 as appropriate to code CS Extension based on a statement of T when no other extension information is available.

^ For CS Extension codes 100-400 ONLY, the T category for AJCC 7 staging is assigned based on the value of CS Tumor Size and CS Extension as shown in the Extension Size Table for this schema.
* For CS Extension codes 100- 400 ONLY, the T category for AJCC 6 staging is assigned based on the value of CS Tumor Size, as shown in the Extension Size Table for this schema.
