Collaborative Stage

Collaborative Stage for TNM 7 - Revised 12/31/2009 [ Schema ]

CS Site-Specific Factor 2
Vein Involvement

Note 1: Record the involvement of specific named veins as documented in the pathology report. Do not code invasion of small unnamed vein(s) of the type collected as lymph-vascular invasion. The latter is usually only seen microscopically. Assign code 000 if surgical resection of primary site is performed, pathology report is available for review, and involvement of these specified veins is not mentioned.
Note 2: Information about vein involvement is collected in this field and in CS Extension because beyond contributing to the overall assessment of extent of tumor, it can have an independent effect on prognosis.
