CS Tumor Size
This input is used in derivation
Notes
**Note**: The assignment of the T1 category for cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas with one or no high-risk features 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 code 992 as appropriate to code CS Tumor Size based on a statement of T when no other size information is availableDefault
