Collaborative Stage

Collaborative Stage for TNM 7 - Revised 01/25/2010 [ Schema ]

PharyngealTonsil

CS Extension

Note 1: AJCC stages carcinoma of pharyngeal tonsil using schema for oropharynx.
Note 2: Use code 305 for localized tumor ONLY if no information Is available to assign code 100, 200, 305, or 310.
Note 3: Use code 330, 350, 575, 665, 810, or 815 if the physician's assignment of T category is the ONLY information available about the extent of the tumor.
Note 4: In CS version 1, extension to the orbit was included in both codes 650 and 700. In addition, the instructions for coding invasion of orbital bone were not clear. Codes 650 and 700 should be reviewed for orbital involvement. Involvement of bone of floor of orbit should be coded 760, and other orbit involvement should be coded 780.

^ For codes 105, 205, 305, 330, 350, 400, 500, 530, 555, and 565 ONLY, the T category for AJCC 7th Edition staging is assigned based on the value of CS Tumor Size as shown in the Extension Size Table AJCC 7 for this site.
* For codes 100 through 568, 575, and 580 ONLY, the T category for AJCC 6th Edition staging is assigned based on the value of CS Tumor Size as shown in the Extension Size Table AJCC 6 for this site.
