CS Extension

This input is used for staging

Notes

**Note 1**: Periosteum is a fibrous membrane that wraps the outer surface of bones. Cortical bone is the dense compact outer layer of bone.Trabecular, cancellous, or spongy bone (spongiosa) is a porous network of tissue filling the interior of bone, decreasing weight and allowing room for blood vessels and marrow. **Note 2**: AJCC assigns the T category based on size when bone involvement is limited to the cortex. Involvement through cortical bone is required for assignment of T4a. **Note 3**: The assignment of T1, T2, and T3 categories for tumors of the lip and oral cavity is based on tumor size. A physician's statement of the T catgegory 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 405, 410, 415, 778, 810, or 815 as appropriate to code CS Extension based on a statement of T when no other extension information is available. **Note 4**: Use code 300 for localized tumor only if no information is available to assign codes 100, 200, 405, 410, or 415.

- For CS Extension codes 100 through 535 ONLY, the T category for AJCC 7 staging is assigned based on the value of CS Tumor Size, as shown in the Extension Size Table for this schema. - For CS Extension codes 100 through 535 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.
