CS Extension

This input is used for staging

Notes

**Note 1**: AJCC stages carcinoma of pharyngeal tonsil using schema for oropharynx. **Note 2**: The assignment of T1 and T2 categories for tumors of the oropharynx 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 330, 350, 575, 665, 810, or 815 as appropriate to code CS Extension based on a statement of T when no other extension information is available. **Note 3**: Use code 305 for localized tumor only if no information is available to assign code 100, 200, 305, or 310.
