CS Extension

Notes

**Note**: The assignment of T categories for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) 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 350. 360, 370, and 380 as appropriate to code CS Extension based on a statement of T when no other extension information is available.

- For CS Extension codes 100-800 ONLY, the T category for AJCC 7 staging is assigned based on the value of CS Tumor Size, as shown in the Extension Size AJCC 7 Table for this schema. - For CS Extension codes 100-800 ONLY, the T category for AJCC 6 staging is assigned based on the value of CS Tumor Size, as shown in the Extension Size AJCC 6 Table for this schema.
