EOD Mets

This input is used for staging

Notes

**Note 1:** Use code 70 when the only information is “distant metastasis, NOS,” and there is no documentation regarding the specific metastases. * If there are specific metastasis documented that are not listed in codes 15, 25, or 35, or 45, assign code 45 for “other specified distant metastasis.” **Note 2:** Direct or contiguous extension to an adjacent site is now collected in EOD Mets for Medulloblastoma, which include the following * Adjacent connective/soft tissue * Adjacent muscle * Bone * Circulating cells in cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) * Major blood vessel(s) * Meninges (e.g.; dura) * Multiple/multifocal tumors * Nerves (cranial, NOS) * Ventricular system
